<< review queue entry 56707 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "puff like a walrus" doesn't seem very apt because - 牛 isn't "walrus" - walruses puff up their necks ("When they're sleepy, walruses puff up their necks to create a natural pillow.") but that has nothing to do with labored breathing. Do cows tend to have labored breathing or is that more like a working ox? (I don't know.) Technically, you shouldn't say "labored breathing like a cow" since a cow isn't any sort of breathing. But anyway, 氣喘 seems to be a verb (LA~急促地呼吸), so maybe it should be "to breathe heavily like an ox" or sth. |
