<< review queue entry 36393 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> For 青年人, "youth as a group" doesn't seem right in the following examples: 1 N ~ 这几年社会上流行小平头,好多年青人都是那个发型。 2 N ~ 老虎机害人不浅,使许多青少年误入歧途。 3 江苏一位8旬老人和奥迪车主发生争执,对话如下: 车主:“老瘪三,找死啊,当心我撞死你!” 老人:“青年人, 别动不动就出口伤人!” Isn't 青年人 best regarded as simply a construct: 青年 + 人? ============== For 青年, "youth" is quite ambiguous, and the definition doesn't make it clear whether 青年 can be all of the following: an individual (F ~ 一个/名/位青年 a youth; a young person) youth as a group (F ~ 青年团体 youth organization) a period of one's life (F ~ 他青年时学过医。) |
