I messed this up before. 昙花一現 is incorrect traditional; Google turns up a significant number of hits for it, but almost none of them are on TW or HK sites. Could this be from automated simplified->traditional conversion? I think that "beautiful but short lived" is too poetic for the intended meaning in the sentences this gets used in. Flash in the pan is a much better fit. << review queue entry 31102 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> I supposed 昙 is wrong as a trad, but looking at the changelog, chad added these the same day and with different defs... And they respectively have 150k and 56k on google, so 昙花一現 may not be a mistake, but i can't find 昙 in trad dictionaries... Anyone has a clue? |
