<< review queue entry 89435 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> ke4 -> ke1 ---------------- Editor: - I don't think we need the lit. part. - The image is *pounding* garlic, not "grinding". - "pound the ground with one's head" is too broad -- the expression specifically describes repeated kowtowing. - HDC gives 求饶 as the first of two reasons one might do 磕头如捣蒜. |
