<< review queue entry 44173 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 涕唾, according to Z, is 鼻涕和唾液 i.e. stuff that one ejects from the nose and mouth I think "spittle" better conveys the literal meaning in 拾人涕唾, since it is "saliva, esp. as ejected from the mouth" (and anyway, it may be mixed with nasal mucus drawn back into the throat by inhaling through the nose) Editor: The literal meaning is clear enough; doesn't need explication. |
