Better translation

[edit]

@Tooironic, Justinrleung "To show respect" is probably not the most accurate translation for this compound. 现代汉语词典 gives the definition 产生敬意 and 國語辭典 gives the definition 心生敬意. I'm not sure how to translate 起敬 myself. Could you please provide a better translation? RcAlex36 (talk) 05:11, 19 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

"To develop respect" sounds perfect to me. ---> Tooironic (talk) 00:08, 22 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
