<< review queue entry 72928 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> The current definition ("to elect; to choose") makes it sound like "hold an election and pick the person who gets the most votes". However, 1) It is clear there was no election held in the following cases: 經夏志清推舉，首先在學院颳起旋風； "[Eileen Chang's works] only began to create a sensation in academia after the scholar and literary critic Hsia Chih-tsing drew attention to them." 廣邀各出版社推舉古今中外重要著作， "[the Eslite Bookstore chain] invited publishers to recommend books ancient and modern, " 「五四主要人物對西方的推舉，不表示他的終極關懷是西方文化，」 "The fact that the leading lights of the May Fourth Movement embraced Western culture does not mean that Western culture was their ultimate concern," 安德森上任後，還一一詢問公司內部的四十多位主管，請他們推薦自己心目中的最佳總經理人選，結果幾乎每個人都提到黃文丁。一年多後，原本擔任製造部副總的黃文丁，就在眾人推舉下，接任總經理。 “After Anderson came in, he spoke individually with the more than 40 managers in the company to ask them who their boss would be. Virtually everyone mentioned Wesley Huang. A year or so later, Huang left his job as vice president for manufacturing to president.” 2) Quite a few dict glosses suggest that, *in general*, no election is involved, and that 推举 is what one does *after* having made one's choice -- not making the choice itself. i.e. 'putting forward one's chosen candidate', as opposed to 'choosing a candidate'. GF ~ 把符合要求或条件的人举荐出来 GR ~ Recommander pour une charge M ~ 薦舉賢才 HDC ~ 举荐 * * * In many cases, though, it seems reasonable to say that 推举 does mean "choose" or "elect". - 三鶯部落去年被拆後，留下來繼續爭取就地居住權的族人，決定推舉五十多歲的「嘎造」為頭目。 - 一屆120名學生分成4個「里」，推舉「里長」主持「里民大會」，... - 也投入參與台灣同鄉會的活動，繼而被推舉為總幹事，... |
