<< review queue entry 63745 >> How can 亂七八糟 be "sixes and sevens" if 七 is seven and 八 is eight? I would even argue it could translate to, "A mess of sevens and eights" Editor: well, "at sixes and sevens" is an English expression that suits the definition of 乱七八糟, which in Chinese happens to involve numbers seven and eight. |
