<< review queue entry 40854 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Copied by K from the usual source, just before the "flood". But it's ambiguous -- "serious about doing sth" could mean "fully *intending* to do sth", which is not the meaning we want. It's "serious in what one is doing" rather than "intending to do" (as in the following example) Web ~ "With so few people buying new homes today, every customer who comes through the door needs to get royal treatment. Half the people who walk your models or knock on your door are somewhat or very serious about buying a home." 1) 喜剧通常比悲剧难写，愤怒也比滑稽容易，倒是官方__煞有介事__的肃穆之举，一不留神就露出滑稽的马脚，所以搞戏剧应该为能生在中国而庆幸。 2) 原本賴英照也自以為今生與學歷無緣，常自詡要像王雲五，當個沒有學位的學者，所以唸農校時他也廣泛地涉獵各種書籍，包括當時流行的「存在主義」，都__煞有介事__地潛心研讀。 3) 也有人質疑，這些潘麗水在民國六十二年所畫的壁畫是否有保存價值？至今不過二十多年，應該還稱不上是古物，__煞有介事__地將之清洗還原好像有點小題大作。 But there are skeptics, who wonder if murals painted by Pan Li-shui in 1973 are really all that valuable. Can they really be considered historically significant? Might not making such a big deal about cleaning them and restoring their original appearance be overdoing it? |
