阅遍 (yuè biàn) is a compound verb meaning 'to read thoroughly' or 'to peruse all (of something)' — it conveys the idea of reading every item in a collection or covering an entire body of material without omission. The first character 阅 (yuè) means 'to read', 'to review', or 'to examine', often with care and attention; the second character 遍 (biàn) means 'all', 'every', or 'throughout', functioning here as a resultative complement indicating completeness. Together, they emphasize exhaustive, systematic reading — not just skimming, but engaging fully with each part.

This word is commonly used in formal or literary contexts, especially when describing scholarly work, research preparation, or deep engagement with texts: for example, reading all books on a subject, reviewing every document in a file, or studying all available materials before making a decision. It carries a tone of diligence and intellectual thoroughness, and is more elevated than everyday verbs like 看完 (kàn wán, 'to finish reading') or 读完 (dú wán).
