"epidemic situation" is rather literal and often unnatural in English.

Examples:
湖北省恩施州巴东县发生1起O型口蹄疫疫情。
an outbreak of type O foot-and-mouth disease

菲律宾爆发疫情
an outbreak occurred in the Philippines

为抢救生命和控制疫情 ...
to save lives and bring the epidemic under control

Wikt also has 疫情防控 "prevention and control of the epidemic" and translates 疫情期間 as "during the epidemic".

都是放柴火的,哪有床。大户人家细皮嫩肉的,谁犯错就给谁关进去几天,谁能受了?我小时候在外婆家都睡过柴房,阴暗潮湿,老鼠,虫子也多。睡在上面,第二天就浑身酸痛。

这间柴房只有个很小的窗子,就像是天生的牢房一样阴森森而黑暗,堆得像是小山般的柴木下,蜷伏着
一个人,也不知是已晕迷,还是已睡着。

当她到柴房取柴时,她即将柴草点燃,看着火烧大了,她又吓得大声呼救。

Do you have any examples for "straw"?

I wouldn't call it a "room" by the way, that sounds like it's in the main house.

-------------------

Editor: Not entirely synonymous -- "prime time" normally refers to the period when the television or radio audience is largest, whereas 黄金时间 is also used more broadly for the optimal or critical time for sth, e.g.

- 因此,震后72小时被称为救援的黄金时间。
https://www.xizdzj.gov.cn/index.php/a/6687.html

- 抓住黄金时间来记东西,更能事半功倍!

I've been talking with a tutor, reading a part of a podcast,
我想,可能每个时代都有每个时代的一些不同之处。
and the tutor said 不同之处 is a very common phrase.
I couldn't find it … don't know how to spell or define it, but maybe there should be an entry?
----------------------

Editor: There are a great many expressions of the form X + 之 + N, e.g. 成功之道、失败之因、危险之地、无用之物、可怜之人. You can basically regard 之 here as a literary equivalent of 的, with X modifying N: "success path", "failure cause", "danger place", "useless thing", "pitiful person" -- and in your example, "difference point" (point of difference). Such expressions are mostly not included in dictionaries, presumably because there are so many possible combinations and their meanings are generally quite transparent.

训导职务 construct
------------------------

Editor: I think "to instruct and guide" would be better than "to instruct; to discipline".

LA defines 訓導 as 教育並啟發勸導 (e.g. 耐心訓導學生), GF has 教育开導, and M has 教訓勸導. PLC likewise gives "instruct and guide", Key "instruction and guidance", and GR "instruire et diriger".

There is also an educational-administration use in compounds such as 訓導處, 訓導主任, 訓導工作 and 訓導人員. This terminology seems to be somewhat dated: LA labels 訓導處 a Taiwan term and says it is now called 學務處, while PLC labels 訓導長 "dated" and glosses it "(in college) dean of students".

异数 yìshù @ 《现代汉语词典》
〈名〉特殊的情况;例外的情形。

这些年,胖东来被称为中国零售业的“异数”。

Editor:
李天祿的足跡幾乎踏遍了歐洲,這在老一輩的藝人中,不能不說是個異數。

李長榮化工是同業中的異數,它同時兼具石化大亨與環保模範的雙重身分 ...

在海外眾多的中國城中,日本橫濱的中華街可以說是一個異數。它擁有許多例外 ...

圮废 pǐfèi @ 《现代汉语词典》
〈文〉〈动〉毁弃;荒废。
例:驿站圮废久矣
----------------

Editor: This appears to be a rare literary word, and the proposed definition is unclear: "to abandon" and "to ruin" express quite different meanings, and don't seem to fit the example straightforwardly. Please provide multiple examples of actual usage that establish the meaning and justify inclusion. Feel free to resubmit with more evidence.

坐地起价 zuòdì-qǐjià @ 《全球华语大词典》
在需求急增时突然加价
例:由于滞留旅客众多,机场热水供不应求,饭盒、杯面等 坐地起价。

Editor: Changed "on the spot" to "opportunistically" -- usage suggests the key idea is taking advantage of circumstances to raise the price, rather than necessarily raising it immediately/on the spot.

坪效 @ 维基百科
坪效是单位面积在商业上所能达到的效果。
----------------------

Editor: Please provide multiple usage examples, especially for less familiar terms like this. They can help us determine the precise scope of its meaning.

"sales" appears to be too narrow:

「我們是國內第一個做立體式自動搬運苗株的栽培試驗」,強調坪效,把空間立體起來,可以栽種更多的數量,但同時考驗的是環境控制的功力。

在講究坪效的住宅區,姜樂靜並沒有將容積獎勵的額度蓋好蓋滿……

在這股東洋風的橫掃之下,經營坪效向來高居業界第一……

小小的櫃位上,三、四位各具特色的新秀設計師,創造出很高的銷售坪效。

忠肝義膽 zhōng gān yì dǎn @ 《重編國語辭典修訂本》
赤膽忠心,見義勇為。宋・辛棄疾〈水調歌頭・白日射金闕〉詞:「千古忠肝義膽,萬里蠻煙瘴雨,往事莫驚猜。」元・無名氏《射柳捶丸・楔子》:「忠肝義膽扶王業,立國安邦作柱石。」

figurative
-----------------------

Editor: I think the road pothole sense is the default sense of pothole for most people, but no harm to add (in a road surface).

ex. 这些凹坑或大或小……因为密集且像是被炮弹炸出来的,所以大家都叫这些坑为“炮弹坑”。

从山西出发,刚上高速感觉跑高速真舒服啊,炮弹坑很少,修路的地方只有两段,均速居然能跑到90以上,比万恶的山西国道简直是天堂。

从古弄村到鱼子西,有十几里盘山路全部是炮弹坑、搓板路,如果是小轿车会特别辛苦。
