<< review queue entry 70969 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> ii 1) I don't think 擦肩而过 can be used as a noun ('brief encounter'). Also, "brief encounter" strongly suggests social interaction, whereas 擦肩而过 is usually a case of passing by another person WITHOUT social interaction. 2) "brush past sb" It's not necessarily a person. Often used figuratively. 3) Dicts e.g. LA & Wikt: "to brush past (someone, opportunity, death, etc.)" Reverso e.g. 山东，一个您不能擦肩而过的旅游胜地 Shandong, a tourist attraction that you can't miss |
