在一定期限内，卖方或厂方对产品因质量问题或故障提供免费修理并承担相应费用的承诺或行为。zài yí dìng qī xiàn nèi mài fāng huò chǎng fāng duì chán pǐn yīn zhì liàng wèn tí huò gù zhàng tí gōng miǎn fèi xiū lǐ bìng chéng dān xiāng yìng fèi yòng de chéng nuò huò xíng wéi

Word origin

保 (bǎo, "guarantee") + 修 (xiū, "repair") combines to express a promise that a product's faults will be repaired.

Usage tips

  • Chinese can use this verb directly after a product, while English often expresses the same idea with a noun phrase, so a following time expression is heard as the length of the seller's commitment.
