<< review queue entry 66493 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> << follow-up of change log entry 70141 >> After rereading the original examples and Chinese definitions, I came up with "vigor" and "dynamism", which I think convey the meaning better than "imposing grandeur". Here are three more examples, from J: After a few games, though, he returned to his old form, scoring 55 points in a game against New York. 不过，在经过几次的比赛以后，他就恢复了往日雄风。在对抗纽约队的比赛中，他个人得了55分。 Before Gustav regained his sex drive in the second half of the year, the farmer estimates he lost out on14 ostrich offspring— worth$460 apiece. 尽管古斯塔夫在2006年下半年“重振雄风”，但加贝尔估算他还是因此少收获了14只小鸵鸟，而每只的价值可达460美元。 Yet having built his power on fear, he was loth to admit that he had been de-clawed, and so allowed the interminable and ruinous saga of sanctions to continue. 然而，依靠恐吓手段巩固政权的他并不愿承认自己已经雄风不再，所以也就任由毁灭性的制裁无休无止地进行下去。 And some examples from elsewhere: 应该问一问欧洲是首能首振雄风，如果可以的话，又是如何做到。 the world should be asking whether Europe can rediscover its vigour—and if so how. 如果你既往的那种床上的雄风一去不复返了， If your sexual get-up-and-go is gone, ... 是时候重新振作紫禁城的雄风, It is time for us to rekindle the magnificence of the Forbidden City, ... 这是一个象征，勇气和雄风，素来被认为全是男性的特质。 It was a symbol of courage and virility, qualities that were considered exclusively male. --------------------------------------- << review queue entry 66489 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Dictionaries and usage suggest that 1. "powerful wind" is 'literary' not 'literally' 2. 雄风 is a noun, not an adjective as "awe-inspiring" implies, and is rarely if ever used attributively. Wikt for example says "awe-inspiring grandeur; majestic demeanor" TP 這究竟是否只是「文人墨客」的牢騷？詩社老矣，尚能吟否？有可能重振起昔日的雄風嗎？ Is this just the age-old whining of literati? Can the old poets in these societies still continue to read their poems? Will the glory of the past be relived? 金融股要想重振當年一股數百元的雄風，恐非易事。 It's just that the sudden influx of stock will be a blow to share prices of existing stocks, and it will be hard to return financial stocks to their former level of hundreds of dollars per share. 氣昂昂的超級春藥依然威震全球，雄風不減。 This superenhancer of sexual potency has emboldened and elated men, and the fanfare over its development shows no signs of abating. 若說一種藥方能讓所有男人雄風再振，在中醫理上是行不通的， To say that one prescription can cause all men to recover sexual potency is not regarded as possible. 片中強調的是男性雄風、是征服的快感； porn videos. These emphasize masculinity and the thrill of conquest. 台灣房市還有重振雄風的一天嗎？ Will the Taiwan property market inevitably recover? 更年期，意味著女人沒有女人味，而男性也雄風不再了嗎？ For women, menopause means the loss of femininity. But what about men and their masculinity? |
