面面俱到

• Pinyin: miàn miàn jù dào
• Desglose de hanzi: 面 (face/side, pictograph) × 2 — every side, every aspect; 俱 = 人 (person) + 具 (tool/complete) — all together, all inclusive; 到 = 至 (arrive) + 刀 (knife) — to reach, to arrive at

Significado

Cubrir todos los aspectos; no dejar nada fuera.

Used to praise thorough, comprehensive coverage of a topic, plan, or task. Can also carry a slightly critical nuance in certain contexts — implying that in trying to please everyone and cover everything, something lacks depth or decisive focus. The phrase 面面俱到但缺乏重点 (covers every angle but lacks focus) illustrates this double-edged quality.

Ejemplos

3. 一个优秀的管理者不仅要善于面面俱到地统筹全局，还要有勇气在关键时刻对优先事项作出果断取舍。

Incorrecto

• 将'面面俱到'等同于'完美无缺' — 面面俱到仅指覆盖范围的全面性，并不代表深度或质量，有时甚至暗示缺乏重点；若要表达真正的完美或无懈可击，应用'无懈可击''精益求精'或'臻于完善' (Do not equate 面面俱到 with 完美无缺 — 面面俱到 only refers to comprehensiveness of coverage, not depth or quality, and can sometimes imply a lack of focus; to express genuine perfection or flawlessness, use 无懈可击, 精益求精, or 臻于完善)

Origen e historia
