用法指南

语境: public security, IT operations, environmental protection, traffic management, smart cities

语气: neutral

正确说法

• 城市监控网络已成公共安全基础设施，但安全与隐私的边界也引发关注。(City surveillance networks have become public safety infrastructure, but the boundary between security and privacy has also drawn attention.)
• 运维团队通过多层监控工具，七乘二十四小时监测服务器指标，异常即启动响应。(The operations team uses multi-layer monitoring tools to track server metrics 24/7, and triggers a response as soon as anything abnormal appears.)

错误说法

• 监控 refers to systematic, often technical monitoring — do not use it for casual or occasional observation. Distinguish from 监察 (institutional investigation with legal authority) and 监督 (general oversight/supervision). 监控 is neutral in everyday usage but may carry negative connotations in privacy discussions.
