"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" nghĩa là gì?

"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" -> nghĩa là không nghe, không thấy và không nói gở. 

Ví dụ
On a subway ride in New York City, Mark met one of the members of the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary. A quick conversation and he was invited back to their studio to make photographs. I remember that small Polaroid on his locker (tủ) to this day. All three doing something along the lines of See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil. A lasting memory.

The emoji represents (đại diện) one of the three animals Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru from the Japanese maxim "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil", which often refers to those ignoring (phớt lờ) injustice (bất công) in favour of silence.

The animals, a cultural symbol originating (bắt nguồn) in Japan which represents the ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ proverb, were depicted (miêu tả) on a online poster about an upcoming art history conference.

Wearing masks may be a sensible (thực tế) precaution during a pandemic but looking at the people hidden behind them brings to mind the famous Asian pictorial maxim of three monkeys embodying the principle of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” Like them, we are turning a blind eye to an alarming situation, refusing to hear and talk of it.
