中国女篮在2026年女篮世界杯「预选赛」中成功拿到世界杯入场券,但整体外线投射效率偏低、后卫线投射短板明显,成为球队下一步备战需要重点解决的课题。

synonym
-------------------

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!

LA gives this as its first sense:
最寶貴的時間。

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".

Chinese dictionaries define it as 逗留, 停留, 耽搁.

I could be wrong, but it seems from a cursory glance through example sentences that this “stay” is narrower than in English, mostly referring to spending the nights at some place away from “home”, for anywhere from days to years.

There’s of course also 待/呆在家里 which seems to me almost like a set phrase, and 待会儿 which has multiple meanings, but could “wait a minute” perhaps be considered a type of sandhi? Meaning if 会 hui4 can contextually become hui3 with the same meaning, couldn’t 待 dai4 become dai1?
-----------------

Editor: Regarding your comment ~ "Chinese dictionaries define it as 逗留, 停留, 耽搁."

Re 停留 (which is actually the Chinese definition of 待 in the XHC entry I quoted), I think that may be part of the source of the confusion here. Some dictionary definitions make 停留 sound rather like "sojourn", but on looking into it, its meaning is broader than that -- it can refer to stopping or staying somewhere for quite a short time, as well as figuratively remaining at a particular stage or level.

I've updated the definition of 停留 and included some examples and discussion here:

Comment: The current definition seems too narrow. 停留 doesn't necessarily imply a stopover or sojourn, and it also has a common figurative sense that isn't covered.

TP examples of the physical sense include:

台鐵海風號……會在頭城鎮停留
"The TRA Sea Breeze train ... stops at Toucheng."

不能停留的地方,繞一繞也好。
"At places where [he] couldn't stay, making a circuit would do."

我們在司馬庫斯停留數天……
"We stayed in Smangus for several days ..."

The figurative "remain at a stage / level" sense is also common:

「聯盟」一詞雖然時髦,卻始終停留在理念、討論的層次……

不僅僅是停留在「球迷文化」的階段……

The Contemporary Chinese Dictionary glosses 停留 as "stay for a time; stop; remain", which seems to capture the physical sense well without implying temporary residence or a stopover. I'll adopt that wording.

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

Editor: I don't think "sojourn; live temporarily" is appropriate. The sense isn't restricted to staying somewhere for an extended period or staying away from home.

"The Contemporary Chinese Dictionary" (an edition of 现代汉语词典 giving definitions in both Chinese and English) defines 待[dai1] as "停留 stay", with the example:

待一会儿再走
"Why not stay for a short while?"

It also gives 呆[dai1] as an alternative spelling, while 呆 sense 3 refers back to 待[dai1].

Similarly, 新时代汉英大词典 refers 待[dai1] to 呆 sense 3, defined as "to stay; remain", with 待着别动 "to stay put; stand still/fast" as one example, and an example of staying in England for three years as another. So the word can cover anything from staying put briefly to staying somewhere for years.

GF likewise refers 待[dai1] to 呆, noting that nowadays this sense is written 呆.

Nor is it hard to find actual usage matching these dictionary definitions, particularly when searching for 呆, the spelling now generally used for this sense in simplified Chinese. For example:

好好呆在这里,我马上回来。
(Stay here; I'll be right back.)

你呆在这里就好了。... 我会很快回来的。
(Just stay here. ... I'll be back soon.)

These clearly involve staying somewhere only briefly, rather than sojourning or living there temporarily.

I think the existing "to stay; to remain" accurately covers this range.
Diff:
# - 待 待 [[dai1]] /to stay; to remain/
# + 待 待 [[dai1]] /to stay; to sojourn; to live temporarily/to remain; to linger/

无氧运动指的是强度很大但坚持时间很短的运动,在运动过程中肌肉主要通过无氧方式获得能量。
http://xyy.ruc.edu.cn/jkcj/jkjy/9242e022ccfd4df4b88b1189d82a18a4.htm

有氧运动依赖氧气分解脂肪供能,强度低、持续时间久,为耐力型运动;「无氧运动」则是身体在缺氧状态下分解糖原供能,强度高、持续时间短,多为力量爆发型运动。
https://paper.people.com.cn/rmrb/pc/content/202510/13/content_30108943.html

无氧运动 wúyǎng-yùndòng @ 《现代汉语词典》
在较高强度的运动中,运动的耗氧量超过人体所摄入的氧,消耗的主要是人体内的糖,这类运动叫无氧运动。如200米、400米跑等。

「表面能」可以理解为固体与液体之间的一种相互作用力,如果材料的表面能低,固体与液体间的相互作用力较弱,液体很难在固体表面停留和铺展,从而表现出疏水性。

银环蛇 @ 维基百科
银环蛇(学名:Bungarus multicinctus),又名雨伞节或银脚带,属眼镜蛇科环蛇属。其种加词“multicinctus”意为“多带的”。银环蛇因毒性大而闻名,去除内脏并泡酒的干燥品为中药材。

广东省生物资源应用研究所工程师张亮告诉记者,银环蛇具有神经毒素,毒性很强,一毫克毒液就能致人死亡。
