<< review queue entry 61511 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) Just about all dicts seem to say "criticize and denounce". I guess it must originate in ACE ('78). Let me check ... Yep, there it is: "criticize and denounce sb. (at a public meeting)". 2) But "criticize and denounce" is an odd expression, rather like saying "hit and assault". I mean, can you denounce sb without criticizing them? 3) Also, that gloss doesn't quite convey the horrific nature of 批斗 as described in the following quote: 1949年，農民在中國共產黨的鼓動、安排下，開展大規模批鬥大會。在所謂「階級鬥爭」中許多被劃定為地主的，普遍遭到謾罵、捆綁、毆打、被逼迫認罪、被打死。 https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%98%B6%E7%BA%A7%E6%88%90%E5%88%86#%E6%89%B9%E6%96%97%E5%9C%B0%E4%B8%BB Of course, ACE is known for its pro-Mao example sentences and so forth, so perhaps it's not surprising that they sanitize this term somewhat. 4) In addition, the current def doesn't even make it clear that the person is actually present during his public denunciation. 5) 在批鬥大會上，被批鬥者低頭、彎腰，身體折成90度，雙臂被人向後拗平伸，做出噴氣式飛機的形態。 https://hk.news.appledaily.com/international/daily/article/20160514/19611728 6) Here's what one writer on the Web says about the ACE definition: 以上各位的答案都对。但是，都没有指出，被批斗者必须在场这个最重要的特点。批斗不是一般的公开批判，而是面对面的公开批判和当面羞辱。要挂牌子、带高帽。被批的人不在场，不是批斗，而是批判。全国都曾公开批判刘少奇，但只有北京的学生批斗过刘少奇。 |
