Meaning of 高科技
Definitions from CC-CEDICT.
- high tech; high technology
How to use 高科技
高科技 works as a noun and very often sits before another noun like an adjective, as in 高科技产品 (gāokējì chǎnpǐn) high-tech products or 高科技公司 (gāokējì gōngsī) high-tech company. Example: 这家公司做的都是高科技产品。(Zhè jiā gōngsī zuò de dōu shì gāokējì chǎnpǐn.) This company only makes high-tech products.
Break it into 高 (gāo) high plus 科技 (kējì) science and technology. Think of 高 as a tall tower and 科技 as the gadgets inside it, so 高科技 is technology at the top level.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 高科学 because they know 科学 (kēxué), but 科学 means science, and high tech is 高科技 with 技 (jì) skill or technique. Also keep all three tones right: 高 and 科 are both first tone, and 技 is fourth tone.
