<< review queue entry 57829 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> - I didn't notice anything about "pro-Western" in J, TP, or any of the 8 or so dicts I checked. - Not necessarily the sun – can be the moon, a typhoon's path etc, as the in the following examples. J ~ 基达巴基斯坦中西部一城市，位于拉合尔西南偏西。A city of west-central Pakistan west-southwest of Lahore. 月亮已经偏西，The moon was leaning moderately toward the west, 出发得越迟，太阳就越偏西，可这似乎没给寻找食物源的工蜂们带来任何不便。 In later trips during the day, the sun will seem to move farther and farther toward the west. Yet the worker bees seem to have no trouble at all in finding the food source. 等到日头偏西再走。 did not go till after the middle of the day TP ~ 太陽偏西時才到姑河， It was dusk when Kou River was reached. 颱風的位置會被壓制在較低緯度無法北上，易走偏西路徑而影響台灣或菲律賓； the position of typhoons is restricted to relatively low latitudes, and they are more likely to follow westerly paths that take them into Taiwan or the Philippines. 太陽有點偏西了，The sun inched a little west. Editor: 偏西, "westerly", "west-ish" (if I may), sounds like regular use of 偏. Can be used with any compass point. 西南偏西, west-southwest, (and analogues for any points), would maybe justify some kind of entry. |
