关口 (guān kǒu)
from Chinese Word of the Day | 每日一词 · host Gallant Guo
特师的每日一词,2026年2月18日的词汇是:关 guān 口 kǒu释义 Definition关口的意思是关键的时刻或重要的转折点,也指交通要道上的检查站。关口 (guān kǒu) means a critical moment or important turning point, and also refers to a checkpoint on a major transportation route.例句 Example《看天下》杂志中,有篇文章是这样用这个词的:「这两年金价的上涨速度比我脂肪储备上升的速度还要疯狂。我盯着脚下的秤想,我的体重也要站上一个历史性关口了。」这里说的是体重达到了一个重要的转折点。In the magazine 'Kan Tianxia', there is an article that uses this word like this: 'In the past two years, the speed of gold price increases has been even crazier than the speed of my fat reserves rising. I stared at the scale under my feet and thought, my weight is also about to reach a historic turning point.' Here it refers to weight reaching an important turning point.你知道吗? Did You Know?关口和“关头”意思相近,都指关键时刻,但关口更强调具体的转折点或检查站,比如“生死关头”用关头更常见。它原指古代关隘的出入口,如“山海关”是重要关口。现在也用于比喻,如“经济关口”“心理关口”。例如:“公司正处在发展的关键关口,需要谨慎决策。”关口 (guān kǒu) is similar in meaning to 关头 (guān tóu), both referring to critical moments, but 关口 (guān kǒu) emphasizes a specific turning point or checkpoint more, such as 生死关头 (shēng sǐ guān tóu) where 关头 (guān tóu) is more commonly used. It originally referred to the entrance and exit of ancient mountain passes, such as 山海关 (shān hǎi guān) being an important 关口 (guān kǒu). Now it is also used metaphorically, such as 经济关口 (jīng jì guān kǒu) or 心理关口 (xīn lǐ guān kǒu). For example: 'The company is at a critical 关口 (guān kǒu) in its development and needs to make decisions carefully.'
