fair comment

基本解釋

One would replace the flimsy “fair comment” defence (which easily gets tied up in questions of fact) with a new one of “honest opinion”.
其中之一就是把軟弱無力的“公允評(píng)論”辯護(hù)（這很容易被對(duì)真實(shí)性的質(zhì)疑所束縛）替換成新的“坦誠(chéng)意見”辯護(hù)。
Q: John Howard, the former Prime Minister of Australia is reportedly to have said that Chinese diplomacy is clumsy. Is that a fair comment?
問：據(jù)報(bào)道，澳大利亞前縂理霍華德稱，中國(guó)外交是“笨拙的”，你認(rèn)爲(wèi)他這樣描述正確嗎？
