<< review queue entry 61923 - submitted by 'sl89' >> It seems 石像鬼 are used for what are technically grotesques, but that isn't different from most European languages, we also tend to call grotesques gargoyles. Since 滴水嘴兽 includes 滴水, it's more or less safe to assume it refers to actual gargoyles. Both 石像鬼 and 滴水嘴兽 are used in fantasy games and books for gargoyle as a monster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grotesque_(architecture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle_(monster) Chinese Wikipedia calls it 雨漏 (“雨漏，又称滴水嘴兽，是建筑输水管道喷口终端的一种雕饰”) but I haven't seen evidence this is commonly used. Wikipedia itself doesn't link to any Chinese language external page. 【百度百科】 滴水嘴兽，建筑输水管道喷口终端的一种雕饰。滴水嘴兽，英语 gargoyle 或 gurgoyle，来自法语 gargouille，原义为「喉」，参见拉丁语 gurgulio，gula。 在小说《石像鬼传说》里生动的描写过，传说石像鬼是一种守门、庇护圣灵的一种生物，并不是邪恶的，但会驱除任何正义和邪恶力量的存在，石像鬼仅仅是一种守护的生物。 侧面则是女儿和儿子的动物形态：狮鹫兽和石像鬼。 Flanking this are statues of their beast forms: the griffin and the gargoyle. 阿尔萨斯：“我们从诺森德带回来的石像鬼在这里很有用。 Arthas: The gargoyles we brought back from Northrend could be useful here. 我需要一些与常态相悖的东西提醒才能区分二者，比如发现自己搬着个滴水嘴兽雕像。 I have to be triggered by something out of the ordinary, like noticing that I'm carrying a gargoyle. 也许我该问问这个滴水嘴兽，看样子他不说英语。 Maybe I should ask the gargoyle. He doesn’t seem to speak English. |
