<< review queue entry 38880 - submitted by 'goldyn_chyld' >> 后来他们得知是我的奶奶，都很感动，可他们却万万想不到奶奶和我 ～。 Z, N, M, J, ... Editor: 非親非故 doesn't necessarily refer to people (see example below) and the literal part of the definition is enough to suggest that it is typically about people. "Once, when visiting Japan, he unexpectedly obtained the strong support of Tadashi Wakamatsu, president of the Chugai Kasei company, who had previously retired from working at a major chemical manufacturer in Japan. Wakamatsu expressed a willingness to help Chen overcome technical bottlenecks. The following year Wakamatsu visited Everlight in Taiwan and declared that he had taken it upon himself "to make Everlight No. 1 in Taiwan." Over the course of 15 years he sent four technical consultants to Taiwan to provide their assistance free of charge." 許多人不明白，若松正社長和永光非親非故，為何把永光的發展看成是自己的責任？ "Many people couldn't understand why Wakamatsu was making Everlight's success his personal responsibility." [since he had no prior connection with the company] |
