Can you I use this expression?:举足轻重 Do you mean whether you can use the expression 举足轻重 to describe an organisation plays a vital role in making a conference possible? I think it's OK. Cheers! Quote

Scoobyqueen Posted October 20, 2008 at 12:35 PM Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 at 12:35 PM Thank you for the feedback. This was an expression I had originally noted down in my flashcards. It came from a mock HSK text and I did not really know how to use it. I remembered it suddenly when writing this speech so thank you for confirming its use. I guess flashcards can be good for something although sometimes I really lack context. Quote
