<< review queue entry 40239 - submitted by 'conorstuart88' >> http://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/cgi-bin/newDict/dict.sh?idx=dict.idx&cond=%A8F%BDL%B1%C0%BAt&pieceLen=50&fld=1&cat=&imgFont=1 在沙盤上模擬作戰方針、策略。後多用於對事情的未來發展、結果進行模擬評估，充分掌握事情的演變脈動，以達成預期目標。 Editor: Re: "tray of sand" --- Apparently, there is a standard military term: sand table ~ "an elevated platform, enclosed by raised edges, containing hardened sand that depicts a tract of land or certain topographic features, modeled to scale, as used for plotting gunnery practice or studying military tactics, especially when preparing to execute a combat operation." Web example: "Any security handover between different units must be planned, coordinated, and rehearsed, at least on a sand table." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It's not to "plan methodology", but "to rehearse a planned action or activity". Despite their sometimes ludicrous definitions, dict.cn sometimes manages to hit the mark (in this case, with "dry running") where nobody else seems to have a good English definition. Some examples ~ 1) 開庭前與委託人沙盤推演 before going to trial he practiced posing questions to his clients 2) 去年暑假更在沙盤推演周詳的情況下學著放手，讓14歲的洪輔獨自出國，在芝加哥轉機，前往美國的羅德島尋找朋友。 Last summer, she learned even more to "let go" when -- after detailed planning -- she allowed her 14-year-old son to get on a jetliner by himself, change planes in Chicago, and fly on alone to visit friends in Rhode Island. 3) 儘管兩隊名廚前一天不眠不休、整夜沙盤推演，設計多種不同材料搭配的菜式，... 4) 總是從數字管理開始，進行現象分析、預測未來，並做各種沙盤推演。 I always start with number crunching, and proceed with analysis and projections for the future, and plan for every contingency. 5) 在執行階段時，需先對單位主管進行沙盤推演，教導主管在進行裁員行動時，各種異狀、或突發狀況的應對與解決方法。 |
