<< review queue entry 64007 - submitted by '20190517' >> “ I was bottom of the class (=the least successful student) in Spanish.我的西班牙语在班上是最后一名。”——《朗文当代高级英语辞典》第五版 “bottom of the heap［口］输家，失败者”——《英汉大词典》第二版 ------------------------------ Editor: 1) Your quote doesn't actually mention the term 学渣. 2) Most references say it's not the *bottom* of the class. It's more like the *lower half* of the class. e.g. 期末成绩中游或下游等 - https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%AD%A6%E6%B8%A3 "(they) get C or less" - https://www.italki.com/question/239002 3) Other refs http://www.szdaily.com/content/2014-01/13/content_8997000.htm https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/chinese-buzzword-%E5%AD%A6%E9%9C%B8xu%C3%A9-b%C3%A0-curve-wrecker-jennifer-zhu https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/252186/english-equivalent-of-two-popular-chinese-slang-terms-%E5%AD%A6%E9%9C%B8-academic-overlord-an |
