Definition
调阅 is a formal verb used in bureaucratic, academic, or legal contexts meaning 'to request and access (documents, files, data) for review'. It implies an official or authorized request to examine materials that are not immediately available — think of a lawyer requesting case files, a researcher accessing archives, or a manager pulling up records. The word is a compound of 调 (to transfer/request) and 阅 (to read/examine), and it's typically used with objects like 档案 (archives), 资料 (materials), or 文件 (documents).
