<< review queue entry 42592 - submitted by 'sorenscott' >> From《领海之争于大国崛起》，经济观察2012-09-11 second paragraph “争执国各执一词，互不相让。他们有理无理，第三国无缘置喙。" Editor: From what I can see, it's wrong to suggest that 置喙 implies "intervention", "breaking up a fight", or taking any *action* other than expressing an opinion. I think that dictionaries like New Century are a bit off the mark saying "interfere; intervene; interrupt" Similarly, I don't think ABC's "interpose" is very good, and I found nothing to support their definition "refute". As MoE says, 置喙 = 插嘴以發表言論. In fact, 置喙 is not so different from the literal English translation "stick one's beak in" -- as in "So, next time you want to stick your beak in where it don't belong, be sure you know what you are talking about, retard." [Web example] Here are some of the examples I looked at in reaching my conclusions. 卻也使得專家不敢或不願置喙個人專業以外的領域。 Unfortunately, the result of this specialization also means that experts are unwilling or too timid to step outside their areas of expertise. 中華美食何需他人置喙！ Chinese gourmet cuisine doesn't need outsiders to offer their opinions on it! 被保險人完全沒有置喙的餘地 The insured had no say at all in establishing the terms and limitations of the insurance. 在外界難以置喙批評 however removed or unapproachable the tower may be 更非位階處於「下游」的保育單位所能置喙。 Clearly such questions are not in the hands of the environmental protection agencies, who are at the downstream end both literally and figuratively. 「有時忍不住想勸勸他，先把路走穩再說吧，」林儒廷話到嘴邊從未出口，畢竟這種事，外人豈能置喙？ "Sometimes I want to tell them to get walking halfway decent before thinking about Viagra," says Lin, though he has always bitten his tongue. After all, it's their business, right? 台灣廠商都只能揣測而無從置喙。而在只能依別人標準起舞的情況下，台灣廠商常陷於「標準未定前只能賭賭看」的窘境 Performing on a stage where they can only dance to others' tunes, Taiwanese firms are often left standing in the wings while they wait for new standards to be set. 港人只好「像個事不關己的局外人，完全沒有置喙餘地... Hong Kong people could only act like outsiders, looking on as if the negotiations had nothing to do with them, without any room to say a thing. |
