<< review queue entry 35654 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "每年年前,杀猪宰羊是个喜兴事。" --an example of butchering for festive occasion rather than for revenge, I presume. jukuu: 1 杀猪宰羊，重捐重罚，对压迫他们的土豪劣绅阶级出气也出够了。 2 他们没得到这个威权，就不妨先多看些杀猪宰羊与杀人，过一点瘾。 Is the "revenge" sense justified? I don't really understand the meaning of the first sentence clearly. Of course, there is a translation in jukuu, but I can't see how it matches the Chinese. Is this an example of the "take revenge" sense? The 2nd jukuu sentence seems to be just the literal meaning -- "butcher the livestock" Editor: it just has the literal meaning. The rest depends on context. |
