<< review queue entry 59582 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1. The current def is almost identical to A's: ①take transportation ②ride instead of walk ◆n. means of transportation which in turn is most likely derivative of ACE's "ride instead of walk". 2. As far as I can see (after looking at usage) 代步 almost never (or maybe never) means "means of transport". So that should be moved from the head of the definition. Can we delete it altogether? Does it ever have that sense? LA doesn't include that sense. Their def is 代替步行。例 「腳踏車是省錢又環保的代步工具」。 M does define it as precisely that sense (means of transport): 代替步行的工具。如船、車、馬等。 But M's example sentence is at odds with the def: 「現代人多以汽車、機車代步。」-- "People nowadays often use cars and scooters to get around." (right?) In the usage I've seen, the term 代步工具 is used to mean "means of transport". 3. Examples: 葉倫會長年以鐵馬代步，Yeh for many years has been touring the city on his bicycle, 南部人還是習慣使用摩托車代步 沒有名車代步，doesn't drive an expensive car 改以轎子代步繞道，發現隱密在林中的慈湖， While bypassing the tunnel in sedan chairs, they found Tzuhu hidden in the forest. 腳步也變得不穩經常跌倒，需以輪椅代步。he became unable to maintain his balance and often fell down, eventually requiring a wheelchair to get around. 早先是發現老人家『行』的問題，沒有代步工具，他們都很怕出門，才開始做起三輪電動代步車。 Earlier we found that many elderly people had problems walking, and they were scared of going outside without some kind of aid. So we started making three-wheeled electric mobility scooters |
