<< review queue entry 59738 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Actually, it's "say", not "speak", because 坦言 is almost always used in the following pattern: 他坦言「........。」 In English, that would be "He said candidly that blah blah blah.". You don't say "He spoke candidly that blah blah blah." e.g. 目前已出版7本兒童小說的馬筱鳳坦言，「這本書內容很不討喜，甚至有人說看到書名《爸爸失業了》就覺得觸霉頭。」 Ma, who by now has had seven books published, says frankly, "This is not a happy book, and some have even said they had a bad feeling upon seeing the title Daddy Lost His Job." |
