<< review queue entry 58528 - submitted by 'luoning' >> Meaning 1: listed as 形 in 现代汉语规范词典 2: example sentences in various dictionaries could be translated in noun form 3: second meaning listed in Taiwan MoE dictionaries 4: colloquial usage. Any Baidu or other internet search will confirm this. Editor: a) It's more like "to crave" or "to hunger for" than "ardently hope for". E.g. - 心靈飢渴的人，... People of the world whose spirits hunger for something more, [cast off your shackles and enjoy his works of art!] - 我都覺得有一股文化飢渴， I get the feeling that people are hungry for traditional culture. b) "desperate for sex" matches 性饥渴 rather than 饥渴. c) I'm leaving out the English noun forms* here -- they're implicit in the verb forms, of course. * craving, hunger and thirst |
