<< review queue entry 40185 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> a student's long years of academic studies 十载（年）寒窗 [ycandau] "... in actual use it seems to be a totally theoretical image, i.e. speaking of the hard life of a student, but not really because of hardships (being poor etc). In other words, the fixed expression refers to the stereotypical poor scholar, but the image is about his dedication, not poverty." Editor: Yes, I think that comes through in the TP examples I quoted. |
