<< review queue entry 82601 - submitted by 'polaris' >> 双双 shuāngshuāng - 《现代汉语词典》 «副»成双成对地：我男、女乒乓球队～获得冠军。 ------------------------ Editor: "in pairs" doesn't make sense in your table tennis example, since there seem to be only two teams (our men's team & our women's team). Also, in the examples I find, it's usually just two things, not multiple pairs. 李中順和陳碧珠夫妻倆在地震後，雙雙身陷瓦礫堆中， 造成產婦、胎兒雙雙死亡。 新興疫疾及「再浮現感染症」雙雙增加， 她和女兒雙雙生病發燒， 製作的本土劇《台灣霹靂火》與偶像劇《命中注定我愛你》，雙雙以15.72和9.3創下本土劇及偶像劇的最高收視紀錄。 接近正午，枝頭上換成一對漆黑的「紅嘴黑鵯」，當一隻體型龐大的「鳳頭蒼鷹」慢慢由遠而近，兩隻呢喃軟語的小鳥一反平時見到猛禽就逃的狼狽狀，竟雙雙展翅起飛驅趕蒼鷹， 她的两部电影双双获奖。 当然 你们两个也有可能双双失败 半个世纪以来，公司完成公路和铁路建设双双突破1000多公里。 Even when we are discussing people or things that are "paired up", a) it can be just one pair rather than multiple pairs b) "together" does the job for both singular ("as a pair") and plural ("in pairs"). |
