Grammar & Usage

fixed expression/idiomatic phrase

How it works

This phrase uses "经过" (jīngguò), meaning "after" or "through," followed by the four-character idiom "深思熟虑" (shēnsī shúlǜ), which means "deep thought and careful consideration." The particle "后" (hòu) reinforces "after." The full phrase sets up a decision made subsequent to extensive thought.
