<< review queue entry 56524 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> It's a very common word in Japanese, but it usually means "make progress (in learning a skill); become proficient" in that language. The many TP examples suggest it's common in Chinese too, but dicts say it means "reach the higher authorities" (K, A, M), whereas TP examples suggest that - it means "reach; attain" - "reach the higher authorities" is more like 下情上達 or 上達天聽. 他們遊說的對象如一些部會和主政者，在當時連要得到接觸、面談的機會都很難，「公共工程督導會報是隱形的公共工程決策單位，國防部蒙著神祕面紗，營建署只能執行決策者交付的工作，」曾貴海舉例，要上達這些單位，全靠一步步打動各級民意代表、縣市首長，共同連結起來，才能爭取到溝通的機會。 [The WPPA targeted key ministries and decision-makers for lobbying. At first it was very difficult even to make contact with these people. "The Public Construction Commission, which is in fact the key decision-maker on public works, is nearly invisible. The Defense Ministry has always worn an awe-inspiring mask of mystery. And the Construction and Planning Administration is only an implementing body, which does whatever decision-makers tell it to," says Tseng.] Just to reach these agencies, he had to win the support of elected officials at each level and of the city and county mayors. It was only by relying on their support that Tseng was able to win an opportunity to communicate with these agencies. 就這點來看，同志以團體的方式現身、運動，確實在凸顯同志議題而被社會看見上達到了相當的效果。 From this point of view, homosexuals acting through organized groups have certainly achieved a considerable impact in terms of putting gays and gay issues before the public. 目的可能是祈求富饒，或是上達天國的「天梯」， Hanging from these branches are sea shells, a symbol of wealth. Perhaps the purpose of these decorations was to pray for wealth, or maybe the tree was meant to serve as a stairway to heaven. 雖然雙方並未在觀光旅遊、經貿投資、及農漁合作等各項議題的合作方式上達成具體共識， Although in the four-day program of visits and discussions, no specific agreements were reached as to modes of cooperation in such areas as tourism, trade, investment, agriculture and fisheries, 壯老一生能在藝術上達到如此成就， must have had a lot to do with Wang's success as an artist, 雙邊可能在「一個中國，各自表述」上達成共識，為官方對話營造良好的基礎。 Both sides may be able to agree on 'one China with different interpretations' as a basis for resuming dialogue. 若能在「對台工作」上達成某些突破，對江澤民的歷史評價將大有助益。 If PRC president Jiang Zemin can achieve a breakthrough in what the PRC calls "Taiwan work" before he withdraws from the center of the political stage, 李潔明方才恍然大悟自己未能「上達天聽」， Lilley realized his opinions had not reached the highest circles 「只有在品質與專業上達到市場水準後，公益形象才會開始產生一點點加分效果。」 "It's only after we meet market standards for quality and professionalism that our customers begin to see the social-welfare angle as a bit of a bonus." Editor: of course it's mostly (在...上)+(達...) in those examples |
