<< review queue entry 68358 - submitted by 'samsara' >> 中国国家足球队并未因最近引进一些外援而一雪前耻。 The Chinese national football team has not wiped all past shame because of the recent introduction of some foreign aid. 一雪前耻，汉语成语，拼音是yī xuě qián chǐ，意思是洗掉耻辱。 ------------------------------------------- Editor: "Wipe" by itself does not mean "remove". (If you "wipe your face", it doesn't mean you remove your face!) You need to say something like "wipe off" or "wipe away" etc. (If you "wipe off the dirt", it means you remove the dirt.) By the way, there are a few problems with the translation of your example sentence. For example, in this context, 外援 is not "foreign aid"; it means "foreign player". 外援 : 指球隊招聘的外籍球員。 https://www.moedict.tw/~%E5%A4%96%E6%8F%B4 There's a better translation of your example sentence online: "China's recent import of foreign soccer talent similarly did not help the shameful record of its international team." 中国国家足球队并未因最近引进一些外援而一雪前耻。 https://www.tspweb.com/key/similarly.html |
