<< review queue entry 58015 - submitted by 'ycandau' >> /to be sure/to be certain/sure/certain/ : little value in adding adjectives which use exactly the same words as the verbs (and there is in fact some ambiguity) --> /to be certain/to be positive/ /to confirm/to affirm/ "confirm" is a bit off maybe. "affirm" is the contrary of "deny"--I group it with "give recognition"--affirmative answer is an often-encountered construct, likely the only place 肯定 is used as a qualifier. /to approve/ is wrong--I think /definite/ : redundant with /certain/; if /definitely/was aimed for, I replace with /assuredly/definitely/ (one of the most common use, well worth two glosses) |
