<< review queue entry 57130 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Fanciful stuff? The literal meaning of 泡影 is soap bubble? Isn't it more like "bubbles and shadows"? (LA ~ 佛教用泡和影比喻事物的虛幻和生滅無常 ...) Why *soap*? The literal meaning of 夢幻泡影 is "dreams and visions IN A BUBBLE"? Rather than define 泡影 as "nothing", it would make better sense to have 化为泡影 /to come to nothing/ (which we do have already) |
