<< review queue entry 79341 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> If we're doing a relatively "free" literal translation (as opposed to sth like "square tenon, round mortise"), I think we should at least make it match the part-of-speech of the figurative meaning. There is nothing like 放 ("put") in the expression 方枘圆凿, nor is 方枘圆凿 is used like a dynamic verb ("put ..."), afaik. ex. 双方的意见,圆凿方枘,相持不相让,又怎能谈好? |
