<< review queue entry 81802 - submitted by 'polaris' >> 长脸 - 《现代汉语词典》 «动»增加体面；使脸上增添光彩：「这部片子获得大奖，真为咱们制片厂～。」 ---------------------------- Editor: ex. 中国工程院院士秦伯益，竟是秦观的后代，太给家族长脸了 这名绍兴小伙，太给爸妈长脸了 这些车以前老外看不上但现在可长脸了！ * * * "to be an honour to" is not an ideal phrase to use in the definition because it has two senses, one of which is wrong in this context. ❌ “It’s an honor to serve you” → Wrong meaning (humility, deference) ✅ “He’s an honour to his family” → Correct meaning (brings pride, makes them look good) |
