I would like to ask what is the meaning of "" a lesser evil ""
Does it mean " a better choice " ???
p.s. please don't convert the phrase directly into chinese by translating every one word, it should have a special meaning.
thanks a lot for your help~

✔ 最佳答案
"A lesser evil"其實都可以解做"a better choice"既不過就表面左d
"A lesser evil" - 就咁解lesser係指次要的或者較小的
咁成個phrase既總意思係「兩樁壞事中較輕者」
姐係例如有a同b兩樣野(或兩件事), 兩樣野都係衰既
但係其中a冇b咁衰, 咁就會話a is a lesser evil.
