| Comments: | Not A+B (tall/high +tone/style?), and this has almost 200,000 ngrams between its various forms. "elegant" seems like the obvious #1 gloss. Maybe you'll have some other options. See for comparison: 格調高雅 (1000 ngams): refined; dignified; elegant; graceful; exquisite (gets a little extra "gracefulness" from 雅 I imagine). Eijiro's use of "sonorous" strikes me as a dated usage, if I understand what they are after. |
