年终

• 拼音: nián zhōng
• 汉字拆解: 年 = year; 终 = 纟(thread radical) + 冬(winter) — end/final (like the end of winter)

含义

Year-end; the end of the fiscal or calendar year. Used as a time marker for summaries, bonuses, audits, and evaluations.

Very common in business and administrative contexts. Key collocations: 年终奖 (year-end bonus), 年终总结 (year-end review), 年终考核 (year-end performance appraisal), 年终结算 (year-end settlement). In Chinese work culture, the year-end bonus is a major expectation and frequently discussed topic.

正确说法

• 根据公司规定，年终绩效考核结果将直接影响员工的晋升机会和年终奖金发放额度，因此各部门都对这一环节高度重视。(According to company regulations, year-end performance appraisal results will directly affect employees' promotion opportunities and year-end bonus amounts, so all departments attach great importance to this process.)
• 年终财务报表的编制和审计是企业合规经营的重要环节，须严格按照会计准则和监管机构的相关要求进行。(The preparation and auditing of year-end financial statements are important components of compliant business operations and must be carried out in strict accordance with accounting standards and relevant regulatory requirements.)

错误说法

• 将'年终'与'年末'完全等同 — while similar, 年终 more strongly implies the completion of an annual cycle in business/administrative contexts; 年末 is a more neutral time reference meaning simply 'the last part of the year'
