<< review queue entry 79045 - submitted by 'encn' >> 平添 píngtiān 动 ❶ 自然而然地增添：新建的街心公园给周围居民～了许多乐趣。// bad definition. what does 自然而然 mean here? ❷ 无端地增添：～烦恼。 ---------- Editor: >bad definition. what does 自然而然 mean here? It means "naturally" or "automatically". The example sentence could be translated as "The newly constructed park naturally provided a new source of entertainment for the surrounding residents", where I translated 平添 into "naturally provided" (though "provided" is specific to this sentence and the general definition is more like "naturally added") I don't think it's a bad definition at all, 平添 in this sense has the connotation that something is obtained "for free" or "as a direct consequence", as in, the entertainment or enjoyment was brought about in a way that didn't require additional effort or work. For example >新栽的白杨和初放的花朵给城市平添不少秀色 >正当我们今天以燎原之势，把建设社会主义的红旗迅速插遍全国的时候， 我们来回忆往事，缅怀先烈，无疑会使我们平添更多建设的热情和力量。 |
