+(idiom)

I don't think people say "He answered beside the point."

對方常以沒有時間、不想談這個問題、答非所問、三言兩句就結束等等來打發。
claim they don’t have time to talk, refuse to discuss a given issue, give tangential answers to questions, or offer hyper-truncated responses
Diff:
- 答非所問 答非所问 [da2 fei1 suo3 wen4] /to answer beside the point/irrelevant answer/
+ 答非所問 答非所问 [da2 fei1 suo3 wen4] /(idiom) to sidestep the question/to answer evasively/
