“差强人意”作为一个成语,屡屡见诸于报端,但使用者往往望文生义,把它理解为“不能令人满意”的意思。这是因误解而误用。我为这个成语应如何正确理解和使用,从若干年前即多次撰文辨正、最近还写过两篇小文涉及这一成语的误解和误用。但积非成是,积重难返,我只好借助于工具书, As an idiom, “favorable” is often seen in newspapers, but users often read the text and understand it as “unsatisfactory”. This is misuse because of misunderstanding. How do I correctly understand and use this idiom? I have written several times a few years ago and I have written two small texts about the misunderstanding and misuse of this idiom. However, the product has become unreliable and I have no choice but to rely on reference books.
