<< review queue entry 68578 - submitted by 'sl89' >> 【Wenlin】 v[erb].p[phrase]. This matter is very serious. 【MoE】 guān zhòng dà 事情嚴重，牽連甚廣。 《文明小史．第四回》：「地保一聽，事關重大，立刻齊集了二三十人，各執鋤頭釘耙，從屋後兜到前面。」 房地产周期的骤然转变事关重大。 A sharp turn in the property cycle is a serious matter. “引水济昆”工程是云南省最大的一项城市水源工程，水源地的保护事关重大。 The project of Introducing Water to Kunming is the biggest water provision undertaking in Yunnan and the protection of the water source bears great importance “那件事事关重大，我别无选择，只好请警察来”。 That was so serious a matter that I had no choice but to call in the police. For, mind you, it's serious, young Hawkins; and neither you nor me's come out of it with what I should make so bold as to call credit. Nor you neither, says you; 你听我说，小霍金斯，这件事事关重大，不管是你还是我，在这件事情上都没有什么好夸耀的。 [Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island] ------------------------------------ Editor: 1. Wenlin labels it as a verb phrase, and that's borne out in MoE's definition and your examples. 2. "serious matter" misses the point that this phrase is about the *implications* of the matter. 3. More examples: 求翻译成中文，要正确哦！事关很重要。谢谢 "Portentous choices were forced on him." 很多事關重大的選擇被強加在他的身上。 weighty 1. ... 2. 嚴重的；重要的；事關重大的 因為事關重要，所以只能當面談。 大家知道我們輸了第一場官司，又輸了上訴，但因為事關重要我們再上訴到終. 審庭，可惜在那裡也敗訴了！ 我帮一个朋友算命，他最近遇到一点麻烦！他是农历1988年6月15卯时生！现在，想找个高人看一下八字！算一下他的一生的运程!千万不要电脑算命!要真人算的，因为事关很重要！！！！！！ |
