<< review queue entry 61809 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 空降 [kōng jiàng] 空降 v. To descend from the sky. This Internet slang term is often used to describe someone (usually a star) or something that suddenly appears. LA ~「救援人員和救援物資及時空降到災區」 他們不必擔心哪一天會突然從外國空降一個經理來取代他， they don't have to worry that suddenly a manager is going to drop out of foreign skies and replace them 像空降的飛碟兀立不動， [a huge sponge crab] stands motionless like a parked flying saucer, (not an airborne flying saucer!) 從飛行交配、空降產卵， [dragonflies] mate in flight, and dip only their tails in the water to lay their eggs 一口廣東國語、空降的張國榮引來餐廳裡本地廚師們的排斥， And with his heavy Cantonese accent when speaking Mandarin, Chang faced resistance in the kitchen. At first, the local cooks would fold their arms and give him cold looks. But over time they sensed his hardworking attitude, and he earned their tacit and explicit confidence. |
