<< review queue entry 69745 - submitted by 'gabor111' >> not present in many dictionaries, but certainly a very common cultural phenomenon, there is even a recent movie with this title https://movie.douban.com/subject/27098060/ https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/89858638 https://www.trainchinese.com/v2/wordDetails.php?rAp=0&wordId=113902&tcLanguage=en https://www.youdao.com/result?word=%E5%82%AC%E5%A9%9A&lang=en @Richard: Thanks for all the edits and comments! May I ask which corpus you use to obtain example sentences? BLCU used to have a large labelled corpus, BCC, but it seems to be down since quite a while. ---------------------------- Editor: This is a word I was going to add a couple of years ago, but got distracted before I finished working on it. (I was trying to figure out how to express the "one's adult child or nephew" part.) ChinesePod Glossary 何止是催婚，现在干脆逼婚了，所以这种催促不仅仅只是表现在口头上，现在也开始落实到行动上了。 It's not just pressuring me to get married, it's more like directly forcing me to get married. They're not pressuring with just words, now they've started to take direct action. TP (2005) 即使「負犬」女性大多是經濟獨立，且擁有超強的消費能力，又喜歡名牌精品、美食和旅遊，卻仍然承受了家人催婚與社會輿論的沉重壓力。 Even though most of these "losers" are financially independent, with the means to live the "good life" and a taste for brand-name goods, fine food, and travel, they feel pressure to marry from their families and from society at large. (2011) 不論是立志單身或非志願單身，沒有婚姻羈絆的女性看似自在瀟灑，不得不面對的卻是主流社會以男婚女嫁為尚的價值觀，以及適婚年齡期撲天蓋地而來的「催婚」壓力。 Whether a woman remains resolutely or involuntarily single, those unfettered by marriage seem to enjoy a relatively carefree life. But such women have to face a lot of pressure from mainstream society with its values that strongly emphasize marriage, and from relatives constantly urging them to tie the knot. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%82%AC%E5%A9%9A |
