<< review queue entry 41145 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 翻船 is just "capsize", not "sink" (although the *context* may suggest that sinking followed). Wp ~ Capsizing is when a boat or ship is turned on its side or overturned. The act of reversing a capsized vessel is called righting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsizing M's definition -- 船舟翻覆 -- does not mention sinking, and in the following example, the kayak repeatedly capsizes without sinking ~ 日後海洋獨木舟進階課程做行程探勘。...經過二、三次翻船洗禮，這位女生終於也划出浪區，在海上等待其他夥伴。 M's full definition ~ M ~ 船舟翻覆。比喻失敗、失利。如：「你可別太大意，小心半路翻船。」 |
