<< review queue entry 89767 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Better to have a simpler, general def that covers all the different cases -- water, sewage backing up, smoke reversing down a chimney, and the figurative cases mentioned in the following LA def: 河水或海水由低處往高處倒流。 例 「連日的豪雨引發河水倒灌的大災害」。 泛指與正常方向反向流動。 例 「人才倒灌」、「資金倒灌」。 * * * "to flow in the reverse direction" covers all cases i think. But I included "to flow backwards" since it's idiomatic English and nicely captures the core physical sense. |
