variant of 借借 … 之名 (under the guise of)
A scam in disguise
- A news report warns about fake charity callers.
- someone有人variant of 借借benevolent慈善之名骗钱。 — "Some people cheat others out of money under the guise of charity."
variant of 借借 + X + 之名 = under the pretext / guise of X
- variant of 借借…之名 means using X as a cover for a different, usually bad, purpose.
- It is formal and critical, common in news and commentary.
he他using借a business trip出差as a pretext之名went去on holiday旅游。
Exposing hidden motives
- some一些merchant商家variant of 借借environmental protection环保之名to raise提高price价格。 — "Some businesses raise prices under the banner of environmental protection."
- The real purpose follows the 之名 phrase.
some一些businesses商家using借environmental protection环保as a pretext之名raise提高prices价格。
Critical tone
- variant of 借借…之名 implies the stated reason is a cover; use it only when you mean to criticise.
- For a neutral "in the name of / on behalf of", use to use以…(modifier / structural particle)的name名义.
variant of 借借…之名 versus to use以…(modifier / structural particle)的name名义

- variant of 借借company公司之名 = using the company as a cover (critical).
he他in以the company's公司的name名义spoke发言。
Recap
- variant of 借借 X 之名 + real purpose = under the guise / pretext of X (critical).

to pass through通过 … to make使 … (by …, bring about …)
A shorter wait
- A hospital report describes how a new booking system changed patients' waiting time.
- hospital医院to pass through通过new新course流程，to make使patient患者(modifier / structural particle)的等待时间to curtail缩短(completed / change)了half一半。 — "Through a new procedure, the hospital cut patients' waiting time by half."
Subject + to pass through通过 + means + to make使 + result
- A to pass through通过 B to make使 C … = A, by means of B, makes C …: the subject A does the action, to pass through通过 gives the means, to make使 the result.
- The subject must be present: hospital医院 / school学校 / we / us我们 + to pass through通过….
the school学校through通过this这次event活动made使students学生more更confident自信。
The classic error: no subject
- to pass through通过这次to exercise活动，to make使student学生more更to have confidence in…自信(completed / change)了 has no subject: to pass through通过 and to make使 both lack a doer. This is a standard HSK 6 defective sentence病句.
- Fix it by adding a subject before to pass through通过 (school学校to pass through通过…to make使…) or by dropping to make使 (to pass through通过这次to exercise活动，student学生more更to have confidence in…自信(completed / change)了).
Two correct repairs
- Subject + to pass through通过…to make使…: company公司通过培训to make使staff员工to raise提高(completed / change)了capability能力。 — "Through training, the company improved its staff's skills."
- to pass through通过…，subject + result: 通过培训，staff员工(modifier / structural particle)的capability能力to raise提高(completed / change)了。 — "Through training, the staff's skills improved."
through通过training培训，the staff's员工的skills能力improved提高了。
Same trap with to pass经过 and due to由于
- to pass经过everyone大家(modifier / structural particle)的to make an effort努力，to make使question问题to get得到(completed / change)了to solve解决 ✗ — no subject.
- ✓ to pass经过everyone大家(modifier / structural particle)的to make an effort努力，question问题to get得到(completed / change)了to solve解决. Check every to pass through通过 / to pass经过 / due to由于…to make使… sentence for a doer.
after经过everyone's大家的efforts努力，the problem问题got得到了solved解决。
Recap
- Subject + to pass through通过 + means + to make使 + result — the subject is required.
- to pass through通过…，to make使… with no subject is a defective sentence病句; repair it with a subject or by dropping to make使.
Practise this pattern step by step.
to use以 … (modifier / structural particle)的name名义 (in the name of)
On behalf of the class
- Your class wants to thank the teacher who is retiring, and you write the card.
- 我以全班同学(modifier / structural particle)的name名义，towards向teacher老师表示感谢。 — "On behalf of the whole class, I'd like to thank our teacher."
to use以 + X + (modifier / structural particle)的name名义 = in the name of, on behalf of
- to use以 X (modifier / structural particle)的name名义 says whose name or authority an action is done under: to use以individual个人(modifier / structural particle)的name名义, to use以company公司(modifier / structural particle)的name名义.

I我as以a friend朋友的(capacity)名义advise劝you你。
Neutral, not deceptive
- to use以…(modifier / structural particle)的name名义 is neutral or official; for using a name as a cover, use variant of 借借…之名.
- Both to use以company公司(modifier / structural particle)的name名义 and the shorter to use以company公司name名义 occur. Learn the full phrase first; the shorter form is also used in formal documents.
to use以…(modifier / structural particle)的name名义 versus representative代表
- representative代表 + group = represent: I / me我representative代表the whole class全班(express) thanks感谢teacher老师.
- to use以…(modifier / structural particle)的name名义 stresses whose name or authority the act carries.
I我on behalf of代表the whole class全班thank感谢the teacher老师。

A strong, reasoned prediction
- to be bound to势必 means the result is practically certain because of the situation; for a guess, use maybe / possible可能 / fear恐怕.
- It is written style; in speech, to be certain肯定can / will会 / definitely一定can / will会 are more natural.
to be bound to势必 versus inevitable必然 and definitely一定
- inevitable必然 = necessarily (also an adjective: inevitable必然(modifier / structural particle)的outcome结果).
- to be bound to势必 stresses the momentum of the situation: "the way things are going, it will…".
this这is是an inevitable必然的result结果。
Recap
- to be bound to势必 + verb = be bound to (a reasoned, near-certain prediction; formal).
- Guesses use maybe / possible可能; speech uses to be certain肯定can / will会; inevitable必然 = necessarily.
Practise this pattern step by step.

- In conversation, if如果 / if要是 are natural; if倘若 sounds bookish.
- Keep then / just就 / used in 便宜便 after the subject of the result: I / me我then / just就…, not then / just就I / me我….
if倘若 versus if假如 and just in case万一
- if假如 is close to if倘若, slightly less formal.
- just in case万一 = in case (an unlikely, unwelcome event): just in case万一to rain下雨what's to be done怎么办？
in case万一it rains下雨what do we do怎么办？
Recap
- if倘若 A，(then / just就 / used in 便宜便) B = if / should A (literary, contracts and essays).
