<< review queue entry 83374 - submitted by 'encn' >> 在安吉县余村考察，提出“绿水青山就是金山银山”的“两山”理念，引领之江大地发生绿色蝶变 ---------- Editor: I think "to metamorphose" would be more appropriate as a literal definition. But it doesn't quite capture the figurative use For example see this sentence https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=metamorphose >To change into a wholly different form or appearance; transform: "His eyes turned bloodshot, and he was metamorphosed into a raging fiend" (Jack London) In contrast see the examples here https://paper.people.com.cn/hwbwap/html/2022-04/30/content_25915642.htm >“蝶变”是动词，指蝴蝶由蛹变为蝴蝶。现在常用来比喻性地表示“向好的方向发生大的变化”。例如： （1）昔日“杂乱地”【蝶变】美丽公园 （2）瑞安民宿从最初的农家乐模式，到等级民宿零的突破，再到民宿的集群发展，经历了从无到有、 从有到优、从优到精的【蝶变】，有效拉动了农业增效 （3）经过多年来的封禁保护和自然修复，阿日昆都楞草原已实现“美丽【蝶变】”：干涸的河流重新流淌， 牧草长势一年比一年好，野生动物种类和数量逐年增加 （5）南通关停并转200多家“散乱污”企业，实现了沿江地区从工业“锈带”到生态“秀带”的【蝶变】 More examples: 在唐山陶瓷公司的生产线上，那一只只造型千姿百态、从炉膛走出、由通体鲜红耀眼而渐渐发暗变色的瓷品， 令人想起美丽的【蝶变】 义乌的华丽【蝶变】，是我国改革开放30多年成功实践的缩影，充分证明中国特色社会主义道路是引领当代 中国发展进步、实现中华民族伟大复兴的正确道路 崇左十年【蝶变】，是广西深化开放合作赢得跨越发展的一个缩影。 They are all positive transformations, describing something changing for the better, usually in a significant way. |
