زمینه فرهنگی

Originating from ancient historical texts like the 'Zuo Zhuan', this phrase reflects the Confucian emphasis on social harmony and collective effort. It has evolved from a military and political strategy into a standard term for modern business and diplomacy. It highlights the Chinese belief that the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts.

💡

The 'Power' of Li

The character `力` (lì) means strength. When you see it in a phrase, it usually implies physical or mental effort is required.

⚠️

Don't overdo it

If you use this to ask someone to help you carry groceries, they might think you're being sarcastic or overly dramatic.

What It Means

Think of 通力合作 as the 'supercharged' version of working together. It’s not just sharing a task. It’s about pooling every ounce of effort you have. The word implies connecting or channeling. You are literally piping all your power into one single point. It’s the difference between two people carrying a box and a whole team building a skyscraper.

How To Use It

You usually use this as a verb phrase or a noun. It often follows a subject like 'we' or 'both parties.' You can say 我们需要通力合作 (We need to work together). It sounds very professional and determined. It’s great for emphasizing that the task is big. It suggests that without everyone’s full effort, it might fail.

When To Use It

Use this when the stakes are high. It’s perfect for a big project at work. Use it when a community faces a challenge, like a flood. It’s great for sports teams during a championship game. You can even use it when texting friends about a complex plan. Maybe you’re planning a surprise party and need total coordination. It adds a sense of 'mission' to the task.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use it for tiny, everyday things. If you’re just asking a friend to pass the salt, this is too much. It would sound like you’re launching a space shuttle. Avoid it in very relaxed, lazy settings. If you're just 'hanging out,' this phrase is too intense. It implies serious effort and a clear goal. Using it for a casual movie night sounds like a joke.

Cultural Background

This phrase has deep roots in Chinese history. It appears in the 'Zuo Zhuan,' an ancient historical record. Chinese culture places a massive value on collective success. The individual is important, but the group's harmony is vital. 通力合作 reflects the belief that unity creates unstoppable power. It’s a classic 'Chengyu' (four-character idiom) that every professional knows.

Common Variations

You might hear 齐心协力 (qí xīn xié lì). That one focuses more on 'one heart' or shared mindset. 通力合作 focuses more on the 'strength' and 'action' part. Another one is 协作 (xié zuò), which is just a shorter, more modern word for collaboration. But if you want to sound like a pro, stick with the four characters.

نکات کاربردی

This is a formal idiom (Chengyu). It is highly appropriate for professional, academic, or serious social contexts, but use it sparingly in very casual conversation to avoid sounding overly dramatic.

The 'Chengyu' Advantage

Using four-character idioms like this in a business meeting instantly makes you sound more educated and respectful of the culture.
