Help needed with understanding these phrases.


Recommended Posts

Posted

For those of us who don't have a very high level of Chinese ability, would someone mind helping me understand the following:

高风亮节,语重心长

大是大非 - "?? right vs. wrong"?

明是非 - "understand right vs. wrong"?

Thank you.

高风亮节,语重心长

High character and integrity, and sincerity

大是大非

An issue of important principle

明是非

Clear right and wrong

But if these phrases are extracts from a contract or other legal document:

best get a professional to confirm the meanings in context.
