<< review queue entry 61566 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "reservations", being plural, could only be taken to mean this sense: {doubts, misgivings : "He had serious reservations about marriage"} Can 保留 really have that meaning? (It doesn't seem to be in any other dictionary.) ----------------------------------- Editor: Yves wrote "This, and 无保留, are practically initial import entries, they should be remade from scratch. The reason we don't get users' feedback on such entries is probably that nobody ever checks such simple words in a dict" I've taken that to heart and looked at dictionaries and usage, and tried to rewrite those definitions. ----------- > to have reservations (about sth) 1) 在與支持政黨作交叉分析後，可以發現民進黨支持者對僑胞參政的態度最保留，新黨支持者最肯定，國民黨支持者態度較中庸。 Based on party preference, DPP supporters were clearly most reserved about overseas residents participating in politics in Taiwan. New Party supporters were most positive, while KMT supporters were in the middle. 2) 多數專家仍持保留的態度。 Most experts are skeptical. ----------- > to hold back (from saying sth) 1) 有時受訪者會有所保留，要求有一些東西不要寫出來， Sometimes, interviewees will hold back or ask that the interviewer not make a record of some things. 2) 毫無保留 /to hold nothing back/without reservation/ ------------ "to put aside for later" is based on definitions and examples in LA, NC and NA etc. |
