<< review queue entry 88510 - submitted by 'aaronk' >> https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E8%AE%A8%E8%A6%81/4870371 Example from chairman’s Bao: 34岁的饲养员刘畅曾照顾巴莫近八年。据他介绍，巴莫性格活泼，为了讨要零食，总爱用水喷向工作人员。 ---------------- Editor: I don't think "request" is the right gloss here. It suggests a polite or formal request, whereas 讨要 has more of an importuning or pressing flavor. ex. 他缓缓转过身来，没有任何被激怒的神情，眼中的怜悯之意反而更加浓厚，仿佛冰天雪地里那可怜的孩童正在伸手向他讨要吃食。 |
