<< review queue entry 62449 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> ABC mentions it explicitly for this word. Looking at my corpus, roughly half the uses of 了断 are about suicide (usually clear from 自己/自我): 但我不会等着让他杀死，我将自我了断，我要画出一幅登峰造极的杰作，用我的生命。 我喜欢我现在就是这样，随它去糟看能糟到什么地步，最好糟到我有感觉，有力气可以了断自己。 与其让他们屠杀，不如我自己了断。 为了不落敌人的手中，毛准备自己了断。 ---------------------------------------------- Editor: This issue was discussed when the entry was written ~ https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?handler=ListChanges&listchanges_searchterm=%E4%BA%86%E6%96%AD&listchanges_matchwholewordonly=1&listchanges_searchuserid=&listchanges_searchuseridmatchtype=2 And I agree that 了断 itself doesn't mean "commit suicide" -- it needs to combine with another word such as 自己 or 自我 to mean that. Note that we have an entry 自行了断 [zi4 xing2 liao3 duan4] /to take one's life/ ABC may mention suicide but other dicts don't. However, I think we can deal with it in the entry for 了断 by including this gloss: "to do away with (oneself)". https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/do-away-with |

<< review queue entry 50764 - submitted by 'goldyn_chyld' >> GF: 了结。 这件事该了断了。 M: 了結、斷決。如：「你我的恩怨也該有個了斷！」 - 今天就要和他了断了，心里既然没一点点留恋 - 中式“被离婚” 该离还是等他了断婚外情？ - 为保自身贞洁，我了断了他 - 中国应痛下决心跟朝鲜做个了断 - 中国足球面临“大洗牌” 必须做个“了断”？ 他的目标是我，不可能让我这么容易脱身的，也应该做个了断了。 His goal is to me, I can not so easy to escape, should also be finished. suicide: Rather than fall into enemy hands, General Mao prepared to take his own life. 为了不落敌人的手中，毛准备自己了断。 We can either resist until we finally succumb to more powerful external forces, or we can resign ourselves to our fate and yield to death by our own hands. 我们可以持续抵抗，直到我们不得不屈服于外在这更强大的力量，要不然就乾脆向命运低头，自行了断算了。 |
