"写作业"
-------------------------

Editor: 写作业 means "do written homework," so 写 does still mean "write" there.

Of course, you can't expect *any* bilingual dictionary to provide definitions that enable you to translate from one language to another using a word-for-word approach. A phrase like 他很能吃 literally means "he + very + can + eat" according to the dictionary definitions of the constituent words, but users are expected to understand that the meaning comes from how the words interact and recognize the sentence as "He's a big eater" or "He has a strong appetite."
Diff:
# - 寫 写 [xie3] /to write/
# + 寫 写 [[xie3]] /to write/to do (homework)/
