<< review queue entry 57325 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> 為何同志被人稱為玻璃? as to whether 玻璃 means nylon or plastic, I'll leave you judge. I have no idea where this can come from. Although polymers ("plastics") exist in a vitreous state... but that doesn't make them "glass" ------------------------------------------------ Editor: Lots of dictionaries say 玻璃 can mean "plastic", apparently based on the fact that 有机玻璃 means "plexiglass". But as you commented, the fact that plexiglass is a plastic doesn't mean that "glass" can mean "plastic". "nylon" probably came from ABC. I don't know why they thought 玻璃 can mean that. |
