汉字
用法
- The very summit - literal or, more often, the peak of a career/achievement - 他正处于事业的巅峰 (tā zhèng chǔyú shìyè de diānfēng) he is at the peak of his career.
- Elevated word for the highest point: 巅峰时刻, 登上巅峰, 巅峰对决 (a top-level showdown).
- Near 顶峰 (dǐngfēng), largely interchangeable; 巅峰 sounds a shade more literary and is favored in the 'pinnacle of achievement' sense.
