<< review queue entry 76295 - submitted by 'encn' >> the pinyin of 作 here is zuo1 "小作怡情，大作伤身" 这是今天在朋友圈中读到的一句话，很有感触。“作”“（读zuō 一声)，原本为上海方言，有做作、不安分守己、爱折腾的意思。 it's much less common than another saying 小赌怡情，大赌伤身 -------------------------------------- Editor: Thanks. Bad pinyin and definition. But delete it? Isn't that a bit like taking a car to the scrapyard because it's got a flat battery? The meaning and pronunciation of 小赌怡情，大赌伤身 are obvious; that's not true of 小作怡情，大作伤身. |
