1. 1妥當性、是否明智(偏書面;口語多半問「這樣好不好」)

    Advisability is whether something is a wise thing to do — whether it will keep you out of trouble, or whether the risk is too big. If a report talks about “the advisability of waiting,” it means: should we wait? Is that the sensible plan? Something advisable should be done to avoid problems; advisability is the noun for that “is it wise?” judgement.
