说人话不办人事

说人话不办人事

Literally means:

【 talk like a man yet behave like a brute

Actually means:

talk sweetly yet behave badly

It means talking like a man yet doing things like a brute. It figuratively means doing things against the fundamental principles of human beings. 不办人事 implies that the person is inhuman (just like a brute). Usually used to condemn bad people or to show one's anger or hatred. Derogatory.

说的是人讲的话，干的却是人不应该干的事。比喻说的话虽然有道理、很好听，但是干的是违反做人基本准则的事或坏事。“不办人事”含有不是人(即和禽兽差不多)的意思。多用来责骂坏人或表示气愤或厌恶。具有贬义色彩。
