http://www.jukuu.com/search.php?q=binary+star
editor: Wp says:雙星這個名詞可以當成聯星的同義詞來用,但一般而言,雙星或許可以是聯星,也可以是沒有物理關聯性,只是從地球觀察是在一起的光學雙星。雙星如果有不同的自行、徑向速度或視差,從測量尚可以顯示與地球有足夠的不同距哩,就可以確認是光學雙星。許多雙星都還未能確認是互相約束的聯星系統還是光學雙星。
And the correct word for 雙星 is double star

Reigning, two years running football player of the year.

Editor: For the trad, 裏奧內爾·梅西 seems to be rare, and 裡奧內爾·梅西 even rarer.
On the other hand, Wikipedia has 利昂內爾·梅西 and Baidu has 里奥·梅西... and so on.

Well, I just can't get inspired to create entries for the names of football players. I'm sure he's very good, but I
think I should spend my time on more useful Chinese words. I would have to research the spelling of his name,
correct the format of the submission (dot missing from the pinyin, for example), look up his year of birth, and
modify the entry later if he is player of the year again ...

I think it should be zha2 instead of zha4, please check. Thanks.

Editor: Thanks. Yes, it's zha2.
zha4 is for the "explode" sense & zha2 is for the "fry" sense of 炸.
The meat is fried before being simmered with the soybean paste.
It's then served over the noodles.

But the noodles are not fried, so "fried noodles ..." is wrong.
