Definition in Chinese

把停滞或未完成的事务向前推动，使其进入或达到下一阶段；既可指实际推动，也常用于比喩性的工作推进。bǎ tíng zhì huò wèi wán chéng de shì wù xiàng qián tuī dòng shǐ qí jìn rù huò dá dào xià yì jiē duàn jì kě zhǐ shí jì tuī dòng yě cháng yòng yú bǐ yù xìng de gōng zuò tuī jìn

Word origin

推进 (tuījìn, "move forward") joins 推 (tuī, "push") and 进 (jìn, "enter or move in"), creating a literal picture of pushing something ahead that also describes advancing an undertaking.

Usage tips

  • In everyday speech, this verb usually names the task or plan being handled, so a bare statement about progress can sound incomplete; a clear object makes the sentence natural.
