When To Use It

Use it when describing a physical need or getting help from staff, a host, or a medical professional.
Practice it first exactly as written, then swap in your own people, places, or objects so it becomes part of your active speaking repertoire.
Tone And Delivery
The register is urgent, so speed and clarity take priority over elegance. Deliver it firmly, then add the key detail right away.
Because this is marked intermediate, focus on when it sounds natural, not just how to translate it word for word.
A good practice target is the example sentence 抢险救灾 (qiǎng xiǎn jiù zāi). Once that feels natural, shorten your pause and try it at conversation speed.
Practice Ideas
This phrase becomes more useful when you learn it as part of a mini-sequence. After saying it, a natural next step could be 非常手段 (fēi cháng shǒu duàn).
A second nearby phrase to review is 突发事件 (tū fā shì jiàn), which helps you stay in the same topic instead of translating from scratch again.
- Read the example “to provide relief during times of emergency and disaster (idiom)” aloud, then replace one detail with your own information.
- Pair it with “An emergency measure” next so your conversation does not stop after a single line.
- In urgent contexts, slow down just enough for the listener to catch the key nouns after the main phrase.
- If you hear a slightly different version in the wild, compare the tone and context before treating it as interchangeable.
