<< review queue entry 79468 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 挑肥拣瘦 is also used in cases when the emphasis is on *not* picking something (because one's standards are too high). Ex. 挑肥拣瘦的结果就是饿着。 ("picking the best parts for oneself" means one must go hungry??) 我妈见我挑肥拣瘦的，媳妇难进门，气得整天守着碗沿穷嘟哝。 挑肥拣瘦总是找不到满意的， 因为大学生比例越来越高，而能够满足大学生期待的工作却越来越少。有代表建议：鼓励学生先就业再择业，“不要挑肥拣瘦，挑三拣四，实际上很多单位根本招不到人，但往往学生又就不了业，这就是供需中间出现认识上存在偏差的问题，先找一份工作，工作一两年积累经验再去择业。”他表示，观念的改变才是最重要的。 Given this sort of usage, I think it's reasonable to include a sense like "to be choosy". |
