Hi Grace,Is there a standard pronunciation for 德高望重? 百度百科 and CEDICT say dégāo-wàngzhòng, but 现代汉语规范词典 and 汉语大词典 both list entries for dégāo-wàngchóng
Hi murrayjames，It's 德高望重 zhòng which means "great; big" (声望很大). Honestly I don't know why it's listed "chóng" in the dictionary, but I know from what people learn in school and in the mandarin proficiency test, it's zhòng- if you are looking for a standard pronunciation.:)
