<< review queue entry 63172 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "enticing sb to come forward" gives the wrong idea. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/come%20forward Our present def sounds like it could be like - "If the person who stole the painting brings it back, we won't report you to the police" or - "We are offering $10,000 for anyone who comes forward with evidence that leads to a conviction." etc. That's not the sort of situation that 引玉之磚 relates to. |
