毫不犹豫

• 拼音: háo bù yóu yù
• 汉字拆解: 毫 = fine hair (smallest measure); 不 = not; 犹 = 犭(dog radical) + 尤 (especially) — to waver indecisively; 豫 = 予 (give) + 象 (elephant) — an elephant being led, suggesting indecision

含义

Without any hesitation; unhesitatingly — to act or respond immediately and decisively, without any internal conflict or doubt.

A very common four-character phrase. Used to describe decisive action in moral, professional, or emergency situations. Often conveys admirable boldness and clarity of conviction. 毫不犹豫地 is the adverbial form used before verbs: 毫不犹豫地答应 (agreed without a moment's hesitation). Overusing it for trivial choices diminishes its impact.
