<< review queue entry 41124 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> N M GT Lots of dictionaries say, for the fig. part of the def, "train of thought; sequence of ideas" but I don't think that works very well for some of the following examples; nor does "general scheme of things" seem to hit the mark very well. GT says "context" and ABC says 社会脉络 = social context TP ~ 1 原本歷史脈絡唇齒相依的府城和南瀛，分隔了65年後重新合而為一 So now Tai-nan City and Tai-nan County, whose histories are interconnected, have been reunited after a 65-year separation. 2 建築形式往往也跟當地的環境氣候、地景風貌和社會脈絡密不可分。 The form that architecture takes is often inseparable from the environment, climate, topography, and social networks of the given locale. 3 尤其理解了文字的來歷及脈絡後，字與人之間的關係就更耐人尋味了。 Once she came to understand the origin of Chinese characters and their subsequent evolution, the relationship between the Chinese people and their language became even more fascinating. 4 這類和民族主體性相關的業務和經費若能回歸原民會，才能有效地從原住民特殊的社經、文化、歷史和心理脈絡，做好各項工作。 It's not that other ministries are incompetent, it's a problem of perspective and responsibility. Only by getting all matters and funding related to ethnic integrity returned to the CIP can the problems of indigenous people be correctly handled in the context of Aboriginal society, culture, history, and psychology. 5 至今仍選擇親水和親近自然的居住環境，社會脈絡也沒斷裂 From the record of 30 years of urban life of the Amis people of Hualien and Taitung counties, Sun says, they still favor living environments close to water and close to nature, and the social network has not fallen apart. 6 在成堆資料中細細爬梳、考究歷史脈絡，才能以此為立基，在古典中創新。 It has only been by combing through this mountain of material and researching the pathways of history that he has been able to build a foundation for innovating through the classical. 7 在紀念88屆滿週年之際，設身處地想想，災民在歷經生離死別、家園崩解後，被迫遷到一個陌生環境，居住環境改變、人際脈絡斷裂、工作也和以前大不相同，「有誰能一下子適應這麼巨大的轉變？」 Apart from commemorating the first anniversary of the August 8 floods, we should put ourselves in the shoes of these Aborigines, who, after dealing with the loss of their loved ones and the destruction of their homes, have been forced to move to a new, completely different environment, where their network of relationships is broken and their work situation entirely different. "Who could adapt immediately to such tremendous change?" 8 翻開近年電動車發展的脈絡 Looking back over the story of electric vehicles (EVs) in recent years, 9 至於策展理念，顧世勇標舉的是「菁英制」：所謂菁英，不是高高在上的指導者，而是能比一般人更細膩、更敏感地去關切整個文化脈絡與生活處境感，作品最終也將回歸生活、與人對話。 As for his exhibition philosophy, Ku proudly extols an "elitist system." But what he means by "elite" is not those people who sit up high telling others what to do, but those who take an interest in the overall cultural context and the conditions of daily life with more acuity and sensitivity than ordinary people. 10 儘量擴大視野，不要侷限在某單一觀點上，要架構出結構性、總體性、全球性的史觀，放在世界史的脈絡中加以探考，以建立區域總體史的台灣新史學。 They need to build a structural, comprehensive, global historical perspective, to think about Taiwanese history in the context of world history in order to create a new, regionally situated history of Taiwan Editor: Julien, I think your comments were excellent. I think you have a much better understanding of the word than I did, even after I had looked at a couple of dozen examples. I was overly influenced by all the dictionaries that give "linear" definitions such as "sequence of ideas", "thread of thought", "train of thought". Your suggestion "threads" gave me the idea for "fabric", and I have taken the liberty of processing the entry directly myself now. Let me know if you think my wording needs further modification. I think "fabric" works quite well with words like 斷裂 -- "rupture the fabric (of relationships etc)" -- as in 人際脈絡斷裂, for example. Certainly, "fabric" seems better than what other dictionaries would suggest for a phrase like 人際脈絡斷裂: "rupture the ... *sequence of ideas* of relationships? ... *thread of thought* of relationships? ... *skeleton* of relationships?" ! |
