<< review queue entry 69805 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1. It seems this idiom is never used in the literal sense. It's not mentioned in most dicts other than LA and M, and I didn't see it in TP examples etc either. Even HDC doesn't have the literal sense. I think it's better left out. 2. I feel "deemphasize" is not quite apt. 沈振中在被問及這個問題時，只輕描淡寫地說，「其實我的行動綱領很簡單，就是好好長期地做記錄，沒什麼了不起。」 When Shen is asked this question, he says with a shrug, "Actually my plan was very simple. It was just to keep an accurate record over an extended period. There is nothing remarkable about that." 不過向劉紹唐查證他邀稿的能耐，他只輕描淡寫地說：「威脅啦！利誘啦！反正無所不用其極。」 But when Liu Shao-tang is asked to verify his skills in soliciting pieces, he merely comments lightheartedly, "Threaten! Bribe! Use whatever means necessary." 還有一次，警方說偵破了「大賭窟」，結果被告輕描淡寫說，「我們一檯只玩幾十塊錢，哪有什麼輸贏。」 On another occasion, the police reported that they had busted a "huge gambling den." The accused said suavely, "We were betting under NT$100. There was no question of winnings or losses." 同樣的迷思也反映在「漂亮女孩才有人騷擾」的觀念中，性騷擾從一種懷著惡意的性犯罪，竟被輕描淡寫成男性對女性的恭維。 A similar myth of blaming the victim is reflected in the idea that "only attractive women need worry about sexual harassment." This takes the serious and degrading crime of sexual harassment and plays it down so that it even becomes a form of flattery. 錯誤的性愛腳本不僅引發犯行，也影響判決。尤其在約會強暴或工作場所性騷擾中，女性已經冒著被指指點點的風險提出控訴了，還是可能不被採信，反被「這是一樁誤會！」或「小倆口別嘔氣了！」輕描淡寫帶過。唯一的辦法是要靠女性提高警覺， Sexual misconceptions not only have an effect on the crime but also on the verdict. In particular, in regard to date rape and sexual harassment in the workplace, women need the courage to endure gossip when they make an accusation, and they may not be believed. The whole thing may be treated very lightly as "a misunderstanding" or "lovers' quarrel." 台灣學生所讀的現代史，五四一章被輕描淡寫、一筆帶過。 prior to the 1970s the May Fourth Movement was played down and glossed over in Taiwan's modern history textbooks 經常三餐不繼的窘況，讓隱地在書中輕描淡寫的說：「餓是一頭野獸，牠會咬得人不舒服」，一語道盡了背後深層的痛楚！ Ko sums up the poverty which so often made him uncertain where his next meal was coming from, with the simple words: "Hunger is a beast with a painful bite." But what anguish lies behind those words! 「生活很清苦，只好有什麼標案、補助案都去試，」葉怡利輕描淡寫一句話，卻透露出國內設計者的現況。 "Things are pretty tight, so I have to go out and try for any tender or subsidized project I can," says Yeh off-hand. She may have spoken casually, but her words reveal a lot about the current situation of craftspeople in Taiwan. 都習慣將澳門歷史模糊化，輕描淡寫帶過去 were used to fudging Macanese history, giving it little more than a cursory glance |
