Q

报道 vs 报告

A

报道 is typically used for news reporting or media coverage, whereas 报告 is used for formal reports or presentations in professional, academic, or business contexts.

报道 is more about informing the public or audience, often through news outlets, while 报告 involves delivering detailed, structured information in a formal setting.

Example 1:

我去学校报道了 - Instead, it means to report oneself or to register at a location, usually as part of an official or administrative process. For example, when students go to school at the start of a term or for an event, they might need to report (check in, register, or announce their arrival), and this action is described by 报道

报道 in this context is typically done at the start of a period (e.g., the beginning of a semester, a new school year, or an event). It refers to the act of registering or checking in at the school, usually for the first time in that period, rather than something done every day

Example 2:

  • 我看新闻报道西班牙现在特别热
