<< review queue entry 43479 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> pretty much any dict Editor: These are *not* the same as the definitions in "pretty much any dict". The submitted defs simply pick out *one* of the multiple senses listed in "pretty much any dict". 1) 煤气炉 = gas stove? 炉 is defined as "stove; furnace" in CEDICT, and 煤气炉 can mean both "gas stove" & "gas furnace" (two quite different things). Better to treat 煤气炉 as a construct than to define 煤气炉 as only "gas stove". 2) 煤气灶 = gas range? A "range" includes an oven. (Webster: "a cooking stove that has an oven and a flat top with burners or heating elements".) But most 煤气灶's shown in Google Images have no oven. The more usual senses that are in "pretty much any dict" are omitted from the submission. But in any case, 煤气灶 too is pretty much a construct. |
