<< review queue entry 61687 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> GRAND RICCI: 春興 chūn xīng Excitation printaniére; désir (amour), désir charnel. zdic: 1. 男女間的歡好情懷。 ------------------------------------------- Editor: 1) The 春 is figurative, like in 春藥, for example. 春興 doesn't necessarily occur "in springtime". The zdic definition doesn't mention anything about spring, nor does the following one: 春兴(情欲) http://xh.5156edu.com/html3/12782.html 2) According to MoE, it's [xing4] rather than [xing1], and that seems right, given that 興[xing4] is defined (by one dictionary) as 興趣；興致。 |

<< review queue entry 61601 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> Defined as above in De Francis, ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary. 緜長 miáncháng Continu; prolongé; indéfini. Sans interruption. GRAND RICCI, vol. IV, p. 445, col. 2 [緜 = old variant of 綿] zdic.net gives 延長不絕。 http://www.zdic.net/c/5/151/334818.htm -------------------------------- Editor: Many dictionaries make it seem like this word relates only to things that last a long time. KEY ~ prolonged; long-lasting PLC ~ lasting a long time; drawn out; continuous ABC ~ continuous; prolonged In fact, it's often spacial, referring to things that extend physically over a great *distance*. See the examples below. The gloss "long" is useful because it covers both cases (spacial and temporal). ---------------------------------------------- 1) SPACIAL (extensive) 大陸型國家地形廣闊，河流蜿蜒、綿長，坡度平緩， In continental countries with their broad terrain, long meandering rivers and gentle slopes, 台灣地區海岸線總共長達一千六百多公里，海岸線不僅綿長，而且底質富於變化： Taiwan's coastline is 1,600 kilometers long, with complex and varied geology. 「就像寫毛筆字一樣，綿長的瀝粉線條要勻稱流暢、一氣呵成，考得是師父的懸腕功夫，」 "It's just like doing calligraphy with a writing brush-the line of lifen has to be even and smooth, and you have to finish it in one go. It's all in the wrist action," 孩子們也有揮灑的空間，綿長步道上，一塊塊方框，可供孩子們以粉筆塗鴉。 There's even a long walkway where children can let their artistic instincts run wild as they color on the flagstones with chalk. 到四大山脈裡的綿長林道 the long forestry roads which wind through Taiwan's four major mountain ranges 生活在擁有綿長海岸線的台灣， Despite living in a place with an extensive coastline, for a long time people in Taiwan engaged in only limited seaside recreation 長期以來，花蓮由於隔著綿長山脈與西部平原阻絕， Separated from the western plains by the natural barrier of a long mountain range, 印尼國土東西綿長， when you consider how far Indonesia’s territory stretches from east to west 例如，紐西蘭人習以Aotearoa（綿長白雲的故鄉）稱呼自己的國家 with many Kiwis readily referring to the country by its Maori name, Aotearoa (generally translated as “Land of the Long White Cloud”). ---------------------------------------------- 2) TEMPORAL (prolonged) 風入松林，聲音悠遠綿長。 When the wind blows through the pine wood, it raises a distant, lingering voice. 為何這部典籍會留存台灣？這牽涉到複雜而綿長的沖繩歷史。 「全身保家」、「安家」、「不敗家辱親」、「欲家道之綿長」等， to protect the family, to make the family secure, to prevent the family honor from being tarnished, and to seek the extension of the family line 跟著兒童讀經的首推者王財貴綿綿長長、口若懸河地背誦中國經典， they read classical Chinese works along with advocate of children's classical studies Wang Tsai-kuei. 接著輕柔綿長的古琴響起， Lingering tones of the guqin (Chinese seven-stringed zither) then arose, 多也擁有「才剛斷奶就給抱來吃點心」的綿長味覺記憶。 可以一口氣綿長不絕、遍遊全身， also allows you to lengthen a single breath so that the qi can reach every part of the body 綿長的姊妹情誼 |

<< review queue entry 61535 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> http://www.zdic.net/c/d/25/58627.htm 1. Utiliser l’espion ennemi pour répandre de fausses informations: contre-espionner. 2. Espion retourné ; agent double. 3. Semer la division parmi les ennemis à leur insu. GRAND RICCI, vol II, p. 520, col. 1 --------------------------------- Editor: 1) When GR says "utiliser l’espion ennemi" they mean "use the enemy's spies", not "use counter-espionage". Compare 【反间】：原指利用敌人的间谍使敌人获得虚伪的情报，后专指用计使敌人内部不团结。 http://www.hydcd.com/jyc/ty0582.htm 2) "disseminate" is not the right word. The false information, if passed on via spies, is unlikely to be spread widely. For that reason, GR's "répandre" is a poor choice of word too. (One of our editors, a native French speaker, wonders whether the GR definition was really written by a French speaker -- and that's not only because of "répandre".) |

<< review queue entry 61123 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> Cf. http://chengyu.game2.tw/archives/203710, in which the 《漢語大詞典》第16881頁 第12卷 80 definition is cited: 1. 密使。 暗中派往敵方進行反間或偵察等活動的使者。 《史記•淮陰侯列傳》：「范陽辯士蒯通說信曰：‘將軍受詔擊齊，而漢獨發閒使下齊，寧有詔止將軍乎？ 何以得毋行也！’」 《周書•晉蕩公護傳》：「先是，護母閻姬與皇第四姑及諸戚屬，並沒在齊，皆被幽縶。 護居宰相之後，每遣間使尋求，莫知音息。」 《舊唐書•竇建德傳》：「又遣間使約世充共為表裏。」 2. 針灸穴位名。 屬手厥陰心包經。 位於前臂掌側，腕橫紋上三寸。 《醫宗金鑒•刺灸心法要訣•手部主病針灸要穴歌》：「間使主治脾寒證，九種心疼瘧渴生。」 Editor: ok, I don't have a paper version of 漢語大詞典, but: - there is a pirate electronic version that has been circulated on the web for ever so long, you find it everywhere; - in that version, the variant or simplified writings and pinyin seem to me to be gibberish, probably automatically generated; - but what follows 亦作 （here 間使) is correct, and here contradictory with a 閑使 spelling. Compare the entry for a more common word: 閒諜xián dié（閒諜，閑諜）亦作「間諜」。 seeing that there is no separate entry for 間諜, I refuse to believe that this word is written 閑諜 or pronounced xiandie |

Chinese dictionaries often didn't take that viewpoint. But what use is it to have in a dictionary a list of all creatures from 山海经, especially if we have nothing else to tell about them?

<< review queue entry 61114 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> This phrase (which occurs in at least one Chinese border poem: 從軍行 by 薛蕙) originally occurs in the Ban Chao's biography History of the Later Han. (It took me ages to work out its meaning. "Onion snows" makes no sense at all. The Ban Chao allusion was tracked down via Google. A reference to this general, who fought so successfully on the other side of the Han border, is deliberate.) This is the original passage in its entirety: 論曰時政平則文徳用而武畧之士無所奮其力能故漢世有發憤張膽爭膏身於夷狄以要功名多矣祭肜耿秉啓匈奴之權班超梁慬奮西域之畧卒能成功立名享受爵位薦功祖廟勒勲於後亦一時之志士也贊曰定逺慷慨專功西遐坦歩蔥雪咫尺龍沙〈蔥領雪山白龍堆沙漠也八寸曰咫坦歩言不以為艱咫尺言不以為逺也〉慬亦抗憤勇乃負荷〈左傳曰其父析薪其子弗克負荷言勇能繼超之功業〉 Since the collocation of these two characters may stump someone else, I thought you might consider including my gloss. But it's probably just too obscure. None of my Chinese dictionaries have been any help at all. Editor: "it took me ages" 1. the passage reads : 戈船下厲水，䇿馬踰葱雪。 (note: 䇿 is a wrong character here; 厲 might be) symmetry of the verses makes it clear that 葱 is a name. Moreover, it's usual in poetry to use a single char for a name. 2. 葱岭 is the 2nd entry when I search for 葱 in cedict with my personal tool. 3. googling for “葱雪” 譯文 gives me at once (baidu) 《后汉书·班超传赞》：“定远慷慨，专功西遐。坦步葱雪，咫尺龙沙。”李贤注：“葱岭、雪山，白龙堆沙漠也。” |

<< review queue entry 61111 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> Cf. 《漢語大詞典》：entry for this phrase ((1). 驱马使行。 (2). 古占星家用语。 常与 “王良”连用。 意谓 “王良主天马之星也。其动策马则车骑盈野。 车骑盈野者，喻刀兵之乱也。” (The second meaning, an astrological term, seems too obscure for the needs of this dictionary of yours). Cf. also zdic: http://www.zdic.net/c/6/e/21950.htm (hyperlink) Editor: we already have this entry. |

<< review queue entry 55851 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> Surely he didn't write this novel at the age of twelve? Other sources all give the birth-date I've inserted. ------------------------------------------------------------- Editor: 1295-1307 are the estimated dates that he was *active* as a writer (rather than *alive*). That's what they say explicitly here anyway: "Wang, Shifu, active 1295-1307" http://trove.nla.gov.au/people/1320161?c=people Various refs also say "fl. 1295-1307" ("fl." is an abbreviation for "floruit", meaning "flourished") http://labs.libhub.org/denverpl/resource/9B5nW05S/ As for the dates of his birth and death, nobody seems to know. I can find "(probably mid- to late-thirteenth century)" http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803120820109 "c. 1250, Dadu [now Beijing], China—died 1337?" http://www.britannica.com/biography/Wang-Shifu ca. 1250-1300 The Story of the Western Wing - Page 3 - Google Books Result 1280-ca. 1368 http://www.mcnbiografias.com/app-bio/do/show?key=wang-shifu 1271-1368 http://gotheborg.com/glossary/westernchamber.shtml |
