M: 苟且偷安 LA: (nothing) Z: 1. 苟且求安,无原则地宽恕别人 2. .犹苟安 some Z examples come with notes: 郑玄 注：“息犹安也，言苟容取安。” 胡三省 注：“姑，且也；息，安也；且求目前之安也。” M also has 姑息政策: 利用姑息、讓步的方法以求取和平的外交政策。如二次大戰前英、法對德、義侵略的縱容，時人稱為「姑息政策」。 (to appease: ... 3.to yield or concede to the belligerent demands of (a nation, group, person, etc.) in a conciliatory effort, sometimes at the expense of justice or other principles.) also, indulge -> overindulge |
