wai ming Posted April 30, 2007 at 11:04 AM Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 at 11:04 AM How would you express "to settle for second best" in Chinese? (I don't mean accepting something which is clearly unacceptable, just something which is not the absolute best ie still passable or suitable.) Are there any 'idiomatic' ways of expressing this concept? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
