无可厚非

• 拼音: wú kě hòu fēi
• 汉字拆解: 无可 = negation + possibility; 厚 = 厂 + 子 (thick, substantial — heavily, greatly); 非 = two diverging strokes (negation, fault — to condemn)

含义

Not seriously blameworthy; understandable; within acceptable bounds. Used to indicate that although something may not be ideal or praiseworthy, it cannot be harshly criticised because it falls within the range of reasonable or justifiable behaviour.

厚非 = 厚 (heavily) + 非 (criticise/condemn). The expression means 'there is nothing one can heavily condemn'. Often used in analytical commentary to acknowledge pragmatic trade-offs or understandable motivations. Implies measured tolerance rather than enthusiastic approval. Commonly followed by a 'but' clause addressing remaining concerns.

例句

1. 在资源有限的情况下，他选择优先保障核心业务，这一决定无可厚非。
2. 年轻人追求更高的薪资和更好的发展机会，这本是无可厚非的合理诉求。
3. 企业为降低运营成本而进行业务整合，从商业逻辑上讲无可厚非，但须妥善处理员工安置问题。

正确说法

• 市场竞争激烈时，公司先扩核心业务、暂缓非战略投资，从商业理性看无可厚非。(With fierce market competition, the company first expanded its core business and delayed non-strategic investment, which is understandable from a business perspective.)
• 政策制定者在两种合理目标之间做出取舍，这样的权衡在政策实践中无可厚非，关键在于决策过程是否透明，且结果是否真正符合公共利益。(Policy-makers making trade-offs between two legitimate objectives is not seriously blameworthy in the practice of governance; the key question is whether the decision-making process is transparent and whether the outcome truly serves the public interest.)

错误说法

• 无可厚非 to mean outright approval or praise — it specifically means 'cannot be strongly condemned' rather than 'is commendable'; for genuine approval use 值得肯定 or 无可挑剔
