<< review queue entry 74732 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> https://www.zdic.net/hans/%E4%BF%AD 节省，不浪费：～省。～朴。勤～。克勤克～。 贫乏，歉收：～月。～岁。～腹（腹中空虚，喻知识贫乏）。 -------------------------------- Editor: 歉收 is the relevant sense in ～月 and ～岁, and it means "crop failure", so "lacking; needy" is a slightly cryptic way of putting it. In any case, I think "frugal; thrifty" is an adequate definition for our readership almost 100% of the time. https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?querydictionary_search=%2A%E5%84%89%2A&handler=QueryDictionary Even ～岁 can be seen as "frugal year (due to crop failure)". That's no less cryptic than "needy year (due to crop failure)". |
