<< review queue entry 58951 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> M and ACE have zuo4. LA, PLC and K have zao2. GR has both. -------------------------- ACE has "give strained interpretations and draw farfetched analogies". K has exactly the same def. NC is virtually identical. And ours is too. Can we do better? 正因為無人見過天堂、地獄，半信半疑下反可以充分發揮想像，大膽對天堂穿鑿附會。 Since no-one has ever seen heaven or hell, people can give free rein to their imaginations, and make any farfetched claims they like about heaven and fairyland. 許多中藥常遭人穿鑿附會，被繪聲繪影有所謂強腎、壯陽之效。 Far-fetched explanations are often made about how traditional prescriptions affect the kidneys and increase male sex drive. 在中國，大舜孝心動天，大象也為之動容，前來助耕，雖有異議之士批評後人不應為聖賢穿鑿附會、製造神話；但亞洲象確實被教會農事。 According to Chinese legend, the filiality of Da Shun, a legendary Chinese king, not only moved heaven, but also the hearts of the elephants which then began to work in the fields for men. Although some are critical of such stories, saying that people should not get carried away with their legend making, it is a fact that the Asian elephant has been trained to work in the fields. 鼎鼎大名的中國舊社會代表「阿Ｑ」，沒事時是會哼上兩句的，你瞧在小說中他不是唱過幾次「小孤孀上墳」，要與人出氣時則開口「手執鋼鞭將你打」嗎？有人認為魯迅既是浙江紹興人，就推測阿Ｑ唱的應該是紹興戲，也許不免穿鑿附會了。不論如何，可沒人料到這回阿Ｑ竟然要開口唱起京戲來了，而且是在台灣唱。 Ah-Q, protagonist of Lu Xun's novel The Story of Ah-Q and symbol of old Chinese society, liked to sing songs in his spare time. In the novel doesn't he sing "The Young Widow Goes to Her Husband's Tomb" or "Whip You with an Iron Chain" when he wants to take out his anger on somebody? Some suggest that because Lu Xun was from Shaoxing in Zhejiang, Ah-Q should be singing Shaoxing opera. That may be forcing things a bit, but certainly no one would have expected Ah-Q to be singing Peking opera--and singing it in Taiwan of all places. |
