Definition

将(jiāng)在用于表示处置的“把”字句时,常作为正式或书面语中的“把”使用,引出受事者并强调对该受事者的处置或影响。

When used in disposal constructions similar to the 'ba3' sentence, 'jiang1' serves as a formal or literary equivalent of 'ba3', introducing the patient and emphasizing the handling or effect on it.

Usage

“将”用于“将”字句,结构为“将 + 宾语 + 动词”,常出现在正式书面语、公文、说明文或文学作品中,比“把”更显文雅。动词后常带补语或“了”等表示处置结果。

'Jiang1' is used in 'jiang' constructions with the structure 'jiang + object + verb', commonly found in formal writing, official documents, expository texts, or literary works, sounding more elegant than 'ba3'. The verb is often followed by a complement or 'le' to indicate the result of the disposal.
