<< review queue entry 43120 - submitted by 'xiaoxiong' >> I'm sure everyone knows this 【中华成语大词典】 【解释】：略表心意。 【出处】：高阳《胡雪岩全传·平步青云》上册：“第一趟上门来看老伯母，总要意思意思，新茶陈火腿，是我自己的孝敬。” 【示例】：我派她给你～。 【歇后语】：隔着玻璃亲嘴 【语法】：作谓语、宾语；用于交际 【漢語大詞典】 以送禮、請客等方式表示心意。 梁興晨 《典型演義》四： “你們一定要把生活安排好， 山裏的特產……嗯？要意思意思。” 張書紳 《張師傅外傳》： “廠長責成她辦一桌酒席， 按規矩， ‘意思意思’。” Editor: It's a bit wordy the way I've written it, but I wanted to be sure that it wouldn't be taken to have the deprecatory meaning that "token" often has, as in "Voters have again been suckered by a token gesture and only wake up to that ..." ... （用瑞士的五分錢意思意思） Each guest happily came away with auspicious blessings (symbolized by a token gift of five Swiss centimes). Can be a gesture rather than something tangible like a gift: "for example: over dinner , somebody is allergic to alcohol. when it's time for toast, somebody just licks a little wine to moisturize his lips ,or drink tea instead of wine.... he will explain that '意思意思' " |
