<< review queue entry 71729 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> All 4 types in comparable search frequency. Btw, I did some experimenting with search parameters and found it a bit inconsistent. It's not clear to me what the difference between "" +"" and Verbatim is. Some parameters I had to dig into the reference to find, and some appear incompatible when using the GUI but I'm not sure if they actually are. A few notes: cr=countryCN|countryTW|countryHK|countryMO (region, may help reduce spam from other C-E dicts, learning materials etc.?) lr=lang_zh-CN|lang_zh-TW (language, here CN/TW indicates simp/trad - not region) c2coff=0 (keep simp/trad fuzzy matching on) tbs=li:1 (verbatim) rc=1 (more accurate total result count) as_epq=此言非虛 (explicit phrase query "") making the final URL: https://www.google.com/search?cr=countryCN|countryTW|countryHK|countryMO&lr=lang_zh-CN|lang_zh-TW&c2coff=0&tbs=li:1&rc=1&as_epq=此言非虛 ------------------------------------ Editor: 1) The two expressions beginning with 此 are not equivalent to the two that start with 所. 直到前不久小编才知道此言非虚。 It's only recently that I realized it's true. 现在我知道大家所言非虚了 Now I know that what everybody says is true. 2) There are lots of expressions that use the components of these expressions, and they are generally understandable from the definitions we already have. We don't need to document every one of them. For example, 此言 appears in expressions like - 此言一出，... - 此言並不誇張 - 此言立即引起國會立委的共鳴 and in each case 此言 means 此 + 言 (these words; this statement). You could argue that having definitions for 此 and 言 is sufficient. Similarly, 非虚 is not that hard to work out, given context. 3) Here are the results I get with Google verbatim option. "此言非虚" 602k "此言不虚" 652k "所言非虚" 1,190k "所言不虚" 1,040k Here's how you get verbatim results: 1. Do a standard Google search for "此言非虚" (using quotes). 2. Click the "Tools" button. 3. Click "All results" and select "Verbatim". 4. Click the "Tools" button again to display the number of results. This works on my *computer*, but I'm not sure how it works on a mobile device. |
