<< review queue entry 71032 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Read in a student essay, confirmed in Baidu --------------------------------- Editor: It's in very few dictionaries, but then, it's readily understood from its component characters. Grand Ricci does have an entry for it: "avoir vecu inutilement" Here are a few examples of usage: 「只要有新的想法就畫，沒想法的時候更要畫。」一天不作畫就像白活似的 “When I’m struck with a new idea, I draw, but it’s when I have no ideas that I need to draw even more.” For him, a day without drawing is like a day unlived. 「老天沒讓我死，不要我白活一場，就是要讓我在世上多讀幾篇好文章，好詩！」 "Fate simply hasn't let me die yet. And he doesn't want me to waste the time I have left. He wants me to use my time on Earth to read more good books and poems!" 「我整理的原則，就是留下有記憶點的東西。試想，如果現在我們突然得了失憶症，你什麼都不記得了，等於沒有活過，但這些東西讓你不會白活。」 “My principle for decluttering is that I keep those items that are connected to memories. Just imagine suddenly losing your memory so you couldn’t recall anything. It’d be like you had never lived at all. But those stored items would give you back your past.” 但我總覺得受制於媒體、追逐於流行的生命沒什麼道理，那樣的生命畢竟是淺薄，白活了 Yet, I always feel that there's no rationale to a life controlled by the media, spent pursuing what's popular. That kind of life is really very shallow, very vulgar. 如果你从没去听过歌剧, 你简直就是白活。 If you have never been to an opera, you haven't lived. |
