What does "好報" mean?
(A) good newspaper
(B) good report
(C) good information
(D) reward from God (from the idea of retribution)
*There could be more than one answer.

First, let's take a look at the following examples from Google/Baidu News:

  1. 八八風災期間,馬總統到南部救災,卻遭批評說「關心,太慢了」,事後,馬總統感慨「好心沒好報」。
  2. 小張一直致力於慈善事業,他是好人,我相信好人一定會有好報。
  3. 為建立具有山東特色的中國石化服務品牌,本公司為進入加油站加油的顧客提供貼心服務,不但建立了客戶服務中心,並且積極開展優質服務月、「加好油、讀好報、中大獎」、「購車送禮」等活動,來感謝顧客。
What's your answer(s)?




If your answer is (A) & (D), congratulations!
Actually the primary definition of "好報" is "
reward from God."
