<< review queue entry 40670 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> 刨开浮土看种子怎样发芽 is dirt the word I want? 散落在器物表面的灰尘 Editor: Another example ~ 内壁处理：用电动工具打磨光洁的内壁去掉凸出物，清扫表面浮土，保证内表面干净。 I think Matic's suggestion -- "surface dust" -- is brilliant. I was going to suggest some context (like "surface dust (as on the top of bookcases etc)") to make it clear that it isn't "surface dust" as in "[On Mars] remote sensing observations of atmospheric dust (which shows slight compositional and grain size differences from surface dust) ..." But it turns out that it *does* also mean "planetary surface dust" ~ 美国和前苏联的火着陆探测器发现，火星表面厚达20米的风化浮土层因含有丰富的氧化铁而呈红色 爱神星表面的浮土 [爱神星 is the asteroid Eros -- I'll put in a submission for that] Note that Google Translate does very well in this instance, and confirms our conclusions -- it says "surface dust; topsoil"! :-) |
