<< review queue entry 59505 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> More "to admit" than recruit? Am I correct that it's almost always used for universities (or at least schools, based on exam results). Couldn't find any other example. --------------------------------------- Editor: Our entry is a truncated version of the ACE definition, which has been widely copied: "enroll; recruit; admit" So "admit" would have been part of our definition if we could just copy others competently :-) I think 1) "enrolling" technically comes *after* 錄取ing (i.e. after one is accepted) 2) "recruit" is also a bit lacking as a gloss 3) "admit" is good, although we clearly can't just say 錄取 [lu4 qu3] /to admit/ EXAMPLES * Academic example: 作家劉墉的兒子劉軒在被哈佛大學錄取之後， After Liu Hsuen, son of writer Liu Yung, was admitted to Harvard University, * Employment examples: 當年鐵路局要八十個工作人員，就有兩千多人報考，而錄取名額有一半以上保留給日本人。 The year he began working, more than 2,000 people tested for 80 positions, but half of these positions were reserved for Japanese candidates. 錄取與留職率都較高。 the hiring and retaining rates are generally higher for people hired through introduction by employees * This example is about neither a job nor a place in a university (but it does involve screening) 但還是被錄取了。 [I remember when I first entered university, I tried out for an extracurricular choir group. I wasn't really very confident about my own singing talent,] > but I got accepted. -------------------------------- Notes: 1) LA also mentions a screening process: 選取考試合格的人。 2) LA has a 2nd sense we might add later: 訊問、記錄。例 「錄取口供」。 and I see this on the Web: 《查問疑犯及錄取口供的規則及指示》 3) I have submitted 錄取率 录取率 [lu4 qu3 lu:4] /acceptance rate/admission rate/ (which ABC mistakenly defines as "enrollment rate"). |
