Definition
非难 is a formal, written verb meaning 'to blame, censure, or reproach' — stronger and more literary than everyday words like 批评 or 责怪. You'll encounter it in news commentary, essays, or official statements, not in casual conversation. It often takes a direct object (非难某人) and can be used in passive constructions (受到非难).
