<< review queue entry 81965 - submitted by 'agedits' >> Seems to be a phrase, Pinyin segmentation as in the ABC-Dictionary ---------------------- Editor: I'll retain "what's the matter?" (although it's borderline in that it's not particularly idiomatic), and add another "sense" (or rather, usage pattern): (关...)什么事. For the various other uses of 什么事, I'd suggest studying the meanings of 什么 and 事 individually — though not through CC-CEDICT, as our current entries for those two words need revision. For this purpose, you'd be better off consulting a dictionary that provides usage examples, or discussing it with a teacher. Ex. 1. 蕾欧公司会议室外。 高挺英伟的欧辰有种逼人的压迫感。 他低头问珍恩： “什么事？” 2. 人家管教孩子，關咱們什麼事。 |
