How to use 承办
承办 is a formal word, common in news and business. It is used when an organization agrees to host or carry out an event, project, or contract. Example: 这次比赛由我们学校承办。(Zhè cì bǐsài yóu wǒmen xuéxiào chéngbàn.) This competition is hosted by our school.
承 (chéng) means to bear or take on, as in 承认 (chéngrèn) to admit. 办 (bàn) means to handle, as in 办法 (bànfǎ). Together, 承办 means you take on a job and handle it.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 承办 and 举办 (jǔbàn). 举办 is the general word for holding an event. 承办 stresses the party that has been given the job of actually running it, often for an organizer above them. Also, do not write 承 with too few horizontal strokes in the middle. It has three.
