Once in a while someone can translate for us to share. Wan Well, I'd like to share some Chinese proverbs and indoms. But I am afraid that I may not do a good job because I didn't earn high marks in Chinese exam when I was in school.

Wan

Thanks for your encouraging me. Recently, China and Japan are involved in the Diaoyu Island dispute. The spokesman of China Foreign Affairs Ministry repeats "两害相权取其轻". It means "Of two evils choose the least".

In fact, there is another saying "两利相权取其重", meaning "Of two interests choose the more".
