How it's used
Primarily used in formal or professional contexts, this term describes the smooth transition or connection between two distinct stages, systems, or physical structures. While it can apply to physical objects like roads or pipes, it is most frequently heard when discussing project management, academic curricula, or organizational workflows. It implies a sense of continuity and functional integration rather than just a simple physical attachment.
Examples

We need to handle the coordination work well before we can start.

Common mistake
Avoid using this in casual, everyday conversation to describe connecting simple objects like cables or toys, as it sounds overly academic or technical. For simple physical connections, use 連接 or 接埋 instead.
