<< review queue entry 69694 - submitted by 'anluoridge' >> I'm replying to this comment: https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?log_id=73704&return=ListChanges&handler=ViewLogEntry Sorry for using the wrong part of speech as 'gatecrash' last time. For this entry. I think 不速之客 has almost the same meaning of gatecrasher. 1) It means the guest is uninvited/unexpected. 2) The guest potentially would disrupt or ruin the event (not always). Examples: 1. 「生突入，笑呼曰：『有不速之客一人来。』群惊奔匿。」 -- 《聊斋志异．卷一．青凤》 2. 我本来打算今天把工作做完，没想到来了二位不速之客，我的计划就泡汤了。 3. 这样出乎意外的不速之客，却受着了真正是由衷而出的恳切的欢迎。 -- 郭沫若《海涛集·跨着东海》 ----------------------------------- Editor: 1) That's like arguing that "dog" should be added to the definition of 动物, since "the animal potentially would be a canine (not always)". All dogs are 动物, but not all 动物 are dogs. A gatecrasher is a type of 不速之客 (one whose means of entry and/or behavior after entry are illicit). All gatecrashers are 不速之客, but not all 不速之客 are gatecrashers. 2) I don't think it would be appropriate to describe any of the 不速之客's in your three examples as gatecrashers. |

<< review queue entry 69313 - submitted by 'anluoridge' >> Provide an equivalent. ---------------------------------------- Editor: 1) "gatecrash" is a verb, whereas 不速之客 is not. 2) In typical usage, a "gatecrasher" disrupts or ruins an event*. I don't think that's true of a 不速之客**. * Examples for "gatecrasher": - ‘The move follows controversy last year when the rally was on the verge of being cancelled because of troubles from gatecrashers in 2001.’ - ‘The inaugural meeting of the Forum, held in Geneva in 1996, was unfortunately disrupted by gatecrashers.’ - ‘A teenager was left heartbroken after gatecrashers at her 18th birthday party made off with all her cards and gifts.’ ** Examples for 不速之客: 三貂社民主要靠海維生。由於東北角有許多天然港灣，他們注定要面對許多充滿野心和冒險精神的「不速之客」。 The citizens of Sandiao Village made their livelihood from the sea. But because the northeast tip of Taiwan has a large number of natural harbors, they were destined to encounter a good many "uninvited guests," wild and full of adventurous spirits. 中杜鵑將卵寄居在小鶯巢中，蛋的造型與寄主家的蛋寶寶相似。小鶯的叫聲「你—回去，回去、回去，不—回去」；不速之客讓鶯媽媽傷透腦筋？ An oriental cuckoo's egg in the nest of a strong-footed bush warbler (Cettia fortipes). It closely resembles the eggs of the host. Does the bush warbler's call "You-go back, go back, go back, no-go back" express the anguish caused by this uninvited guest? 來到重光樓，正巧碰上這裡一周兩次的卡拉OK唱歌班時間。交誼廳裡，七、八位阿公阿婆跟隨著螢幕上的歌詞畫面，有的手拿麥克風邊唱邊跳、有的隨著節奏打拍子，個個情緒高亢，不亦樂乎。見到不速之客來訪，老人家不僅不害羞，還高興得大力邀唱以示歡迎。 We just happened to arrive at the time of one of the center's twice weekly karaoke sessions; seven or eight grandmothers and grandfathers were in the recreation room following along with the words on the TV screen. Some were holding microphones, singing and dancing, while others were clapping in time to the rhythm. All were enjoying themselves. Not only did they not feel the least bit embarrassed by the arrival of unexpected visitors, they enthusiastically welcomed us, inviting us to join them. 針對不速之客闖入井然有序的星空，中國稱之為「客星」。 When these exploding masses suddenly intruded upon the otherwise orderly and predictable pattern of the skies, early Chinese astronomers called them "guest stars." |

<< review queue entry 64035 - submitted by 'anluoridge' >> 变质 is a quite general word when using with food. 腐败 (to perish) is interchangeable with 'to go bad' here. ---------------------------- Editor: I don't think it's helpful to add "perish". For one thing, it usually means "die". Also, it has limited usage. In my experience, people usually say food has "gone off" rather than "perished". Merriam-Webster says that in that sense, it's "chiefly British" usage. We aim primarily for US English spelling and usage. 若聞到有變質的發酸氣味，或有點潮濕、發霉就應立刻丟棄。 "If it starts smelling like it's gone bad, or if it seems a bit damp or moldy, throw it away immediately." I think "metamorphosis" is wrong. That would be 變態. Example: 經歷高溫高壓的鍛造、變質，... a combination of high temperature and pressure turned it into metamorphic rock |

<< review queue entry 64034 - submitted by 'anluoridge' >> The turnover of people in an organization or place is the rate at which people leave and are replaced. 人员流动率 [商业] via Collins PS: How to deal with the variants of turnover, like 员工流失率，离职率？ ============================= Editor: EXAMPLES FOR 流动率 流動率維持在3%，their turnover in personnel has remained consistently at 3%, 員工流動率高， 亞光的員工流動率極低， 反映出都會區物質較豐裕、人口流動率高的特質。 永遠站在第一線的記者，工作壓力很大，也是媒體業流動率最高的部門。 Frontline reporters deal with tremendous pressure and turnover is high. 員工流動率低於兩成，employee turnover is less than 20%, 導致教師流動率高， ------------------------- EXAMPLES FOR 流失 土質稀鬆易流失，It has loose soil that erodes easily, 觀眾可能要流失 audiences may well drift away 母語尚未流失，their mother tongue has not been lost, 最近亞洲人的存款有流失現象，recently Asians' deposits at the bank have been declining, 實質的需求誘因就會消失，造成人口流失。 the attraction of Catholicism has been diluted, causing many believers to drift away. 所以，我們的確流失許多教友。 In this way we have indeed lost many followers. 台灣近年還流失了大量高中畢業球員， Taiwan has seen a drain of high-school players after they graduate in recent years. |

<< review queue entry 64036 - submitted by 'anluoridge' >> The entire house reeked for a long time. 整座房子长时间一直有股难闻的味道。 via Collins -------------------------------------- Editor: You are submitting for an entry for the Chinese term 發臭, but your quote (from Collins) doesn't actually include the word. I looked at various examples of 发臭 usage and I feel that "smelly" or "smell bad" would be a more suitable definition than "reek" in most cases. E.g. ... 品質不佳很容易發臭，... which was translated as "[Cowhide glue is an animal product,] and can smell bad if it is of poor quality." One problem with "reek" is that it typically occurs in the form "to reek of ..." - "reek of alcohol" - "reek of horse manure" And 发臭 doesn't seem to be typically used in a corresponding Chinese construction. Another issue is that "reek" is often used in cases that perhaps wouldn't be described as 发臭. - ‘The men wore shiny suits and chunky pinky rings and reeked of pomade and cologne.’ - ‘The nurse's office smelled - or rather, reeked - strongly of iodine and disinfectant.’ - ‘I dragged my suitcase through the spotless, empty street, which reeked of bleach.’ |

We already have some examples of this sort of word: 易取得 accessible 易激惹 irritable I guess I don't mind adding one more, so I will process your submission, and expand the entry for 易. Sorry for taking a while to getting around to your submission. It's been sitting on the queue. |

<< review queue entry 63395 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> << follow-up of change log entry 66833 >> << review queue entry 63394 - submitted by 'anluoridge' >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_man ------------------------------------------- The definition seems pretty dodgy. It's based on a webpage that proclaims its own dodginess. The first sentence says "This article has multiple issues" and then links to a talk page, which says 1) This article seems to be combining two different concepts - the Chinese "keyboard man" (somebody who is hypocritical in calling for justice online, but failing to take action offline) and the American "keyboard warrior" (somebody who likes arguing online). 2) this article is dealing with two separate topics - the Chinese "keyboard man" and the western "keyboard warrior", mixing the two and covering both badly. Does the term "keyboard man" have an accepted meaning such that we can use it in a cc-cedict definition without explanation? Also, why "man"? Are 键盘侠 all men? "keyboard warrior" too may need discussion. Here is one description of "keyboard warrior" https://www.quora.com/How-would-you-describe-a-keyboard-warrior/answer/Robert-Charles-Lee whereas 键盘侠 seems to be someone who fights for social justice via the keyboard (though it does have derogatory connotations, like "keyboard warrior".) |
