<< review queue entry 62645 - submitted by 'sl89' >> * From the MoE definition and the more idiomatic-sounding quotations, it seems to me that 废土 originally meant earth/soil that is waste, as a result of construction work, for example. More recently it seems to be used as a translation of the English word "wasteland". I don't have clear evidence of this, though, and I see 废土 being consistently used as a translation of ‘wasteland’, so that's the gloss I'm submitting. 【MoE】 荒废无用的土。如：「路上乱堆废土，造成交通的不便。」 农业省说，即便只给受污染的农田刮去4厘米厚的表土，就会产生330万吨的废土。 If just four centimeters of topsoil is scraped off the contaminated farmland, the ministry says, it would create 3.3 million tons of waste. 最后结合水系疏浚废土经固化后用作路基填料的两个工程，进行了土壤固化技术的应用研究。 Finally, the related soil stabilization technique was applied to treat dredged soft soil from water systems into road base filling. 水系疏浚废土中一般含有机质，需要在固化剂中添加消除有机质影响的特殊成分或使用专门用于加固有机质土的土壤固化剂。 Dredged soils from water systems often contain humus, so only those stabilizers with special components to reduce the influence of humus can be effective. 胡市長曾公開表示，十分重視高美溼地的保育，也立刻加派巡邏警察防止傾倒廢土、燃燒廢棄物等，並已編列濕地附近一座公園、停車場、遊客服務中心等預算，地方保育人士在樂觀其成之餘，更希望新政府能積極向農委會爭取經費，提出經營策略和生態教育、研究調查等軟體計畫。 Mayor Hu has stated that he places great importance on the preservation of the Gaomei Wetlands and has increased police patrols intended to prevent illegal dumping and burning of waste. He has also budgeted funds for a park, a parking lot, and a visitors center on the edges of the wetlands. Conservationists are thrilled and are hoping that the new government also approaches the Council of Agriculture for funds for operations, planning, ecological education, and surveys. https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=73e2ad93-acc1-4bb3-a712-6b9fcd025f42&CatId=3 太好了！这样我们就可以重建废土文明了！ That's great! Then we can rebuild the civilization in the wasteland! 他蹒跚的穿过焦黑的废土，火星和灰烬在他旁环绕。 He stumbles through the dark wasteland, sparks and ash swirling around him. 游戏世界25%在华盛顿特区，另外75%包含其周围的废土（马里兰和维基尼亚地区）。 The game world is 25% inside of the city of Washington, DC and the other 75% is made up of the surrounding waste lands (suburbs of Maryland and Virginia). ---------------------------------------------------------- Editor: MoE's definition says it's waste soil, and in your first four examples too, the meaning is "waste soil". Also, in many examples I found, it's "waste soil". E.g. 廢土棄置場難尋， finding sites to dump the dredged sediment 但水生植物最大的殺手卻是各種工程建設與廢土傾倒， Even more havoc, however, is caused by construction projects and the draining and filling of ponds and marshes. 在三湖里的一家工廠邊，有一大片工業廢土， A big mound of earth sits next to a factory in Three Lakes Village, brought in to fill in nearby ponds. 把多餘的廢土填起來， just piled up the leftover soil 不肖承包商把廢土傾倒到沼澤裡， the contractors dumped waste soil into the wetlands, 從2002年至今，已開徵的地方稅多半針對建築開發或土石採挖時對道路、環境的破壞，或是營建剩餘砂石、廢土處理課稅， Since 2002, the taxes local governments have levied have mostly been focused on the construction industry, either as a form of compensation for damage to roads and the environment, or as a fee for the disposal of construction spoil-the sand, gravel, soil and so forth that is left over from the construction process. ------- On the other hand, I do find some "wasteland" examples such as - 废土电影是作为科幻电影的一个子类型，废土电影旨在探讨文明在经历巨大灾难后遭到彻底毁灭后的世界。 - 废土(Wasteland)既是作为辐射系列的精神前作的游戏系列， - 廢土日記 - apocalyptic diary These quotes, together with your quotes — one of which refers to Maryland (where I spent three years of my childhood) as a "waste land" — suggest that 廢土, when it means wasteland, is a *post-apocalyptic* wasteland. |
