用法
- Beyond literal construction, its most common modern use is figurative: to create an atmosphere or mood - 营造气氛 (yíngzào qìfēn) create an atmosphere; 营造良好环境 (yíngzào liánghǎo huánjìng) build a good environment.
- With this abstract sense it pairs with 气氛/氛围/环境/形象; don't swap in 建造 (jiànzào), which is only for physical structures.
- Formal, positive register - common in media and official writing.
