  • requirement

    Refers to a condition that is officially needed or demanded, often set by rules, institutions or a process; collocates with 'meet', 'a requirement for/of'.

  • demand 本词

    Refers to people's desire or need to have or buy something, especially in an economic or market context; collocates with 'high/low demand for'.

    指人们想要拥有或购买某物的愿望或需要,尤其用于经济或市场语境;常见搭配为 high/low demand for。

    There is a high demand for skilled workers here.

    这里对熟练工人的需求量很大。

Requirement and demand both mean a need for something. Requirement is a condition officially needed, often set by rules or institutions. Demand is people's desire to have or buy something, especially in economic or market contexts. Demand as a verb is not compared.

这两个词都表示对某事物的“需求”,但 requirement 强调官方或制度上规定必须满足的条件,语气客观、正式;demand 强调人们想要或渴望得到某物的欲望,常用于市场或供需语境。这里不比较 demand 的“要求,强硬索求”这一动词义项及其相关名词用法。
