Examples

改革是公共大眾的事,改革是光明正大的事,不能只在少數精英貴族中討論,不能靜悄悄地進行,更不能在那裡搞什麼暗箱操作。

Reform is a public affair for the masses. Reform is an open and aboveboard affair. It should not merely be discussed among a small number of the best and brightest of the aristocracy. It should not be carried out in a "hush-hush" manner, much less behind closed doors.
