用法
- 'To praise/commend' - its whole point is contrast with 贬 (biǎn, to disparage): 褒贬 (bāobiǎn) to appraise/pass judgment, 褒义 (bāoyì) a commendatory/positive connotation vs 贬义 a derogatory one.
- 褒奖 (bāojiǎng) to commend officially. Grammar note: a word's 褒/贬 coloring matters - 后果 carries 贬义, 结果 is neutral.
