The Chinese word 利益 (lìyì) is composed of two characters: 利 (lì) and 益 (yì). The character 利 originally meant "a sharp point" or "a knife", and later extended to mean "benefit" or "profit". The character 益 originally meant "to increase" or "to benefit", and later extended to mean "advantage" or "interest". When combined, the two characters 利益 (lìyì) mean "benefit", "profit", or "interest".The word 利益 (lìyì) is commonly used in Chinese to refer to the benefits or profits that can be gained from a particular action or situation. It can also be used to refer to the interests of a particular group or individual. For example, the phrase 利益相关者 (lìyì xiāngguān zhě) means "stakeholder", and the phrase 利益冲突 (lìyì chōngtù) means "conflict of interest".The word 利益 (lìyì) is an important part of Chinese vocabulary, and it is essential for HSK learners to understand its meaning and usage.
