<< review queue entry 68224 - submitted by 'goldyn_chyld' >> https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/17123484 -------------------------- Editor: 1) have what it takes "To have the skill, ability, or wherewithal to do something." 2) I think this will be the 4th cc-cedict entry to have an example sentence with this format /Example: .../ The other three are: 見長 涉事 之所以 Sometimes it's hard to explain sth without an example. 3) Other examples: 叫她有本事就試試看! Just let her try ! 「我們要做任何事，你只會搖頭說沒錢，有本事就去賺賺看。」 "Whatever we want to do, you just shake your head and say there's no money. If you're so clever, why don't you see if you can earn some money yourself!" “你说我撒谎！你又有什么证据来证明你自己！有本事你说啊！说啊！” [In this case, I guess you could say that "what it takes" is the evidence to support one's claims.] |
