意味

譲歩する／引き下がる

More deliberate than 退步 — 退让 implies choosing to give ground for the sake of harmony, progress, or a larger goal, rather than simply falling behind. Frequently appears in negotiation, conflict resolution, and relationship contexts. Can be positive (showing flexibility) or negative (showing weakness), depending on context.
