<< review queue entry 75816 - submitted by 'cws' >> https://www.zhihu.com/question/19562698#:~:text=因为我就是照着知乎前人推荐的书一本本看过来的 ---------------------------- Editor: 1) 一本本 is the same as 一本一本 as in this example: 放下曾經有過的身份，一位退休校長在圖書館裡，安靜地將一本一本的書，放回架位...... (although the shorter form 一本本 is more common). In general terms, it's a reduplicated form of the pattern "一 + {measure word}". Here are a few examples: (代) 這些乘著一代代記憶、從遠古口傳至今的名字， (波) 大陸團體一波波到台灣公演， (步) 一步步陷入這「不知是誰設下的大網」。 (張) 看老光華中一張張的圖片， (集) 於是介紹「都市新貌」、「十項建設三年有成」、「日月潭風光」等一集集的光華畫報雜誌，就這樣出版，向海外寄發，初時發行量約是一萬份。 We have the most generic example of the pattern (一個個), but we aren't going to add an entry for each measure word. Having a dictionary isn't a substitute for learning the grammar. 2) The proposed definition is inaccurate because it doesn't indicate that 一本本 only applies to things whose measure word is 本, such as books, files etc. |

<< review queue entry 75614 - submitted by 'cws' >> v2 --------------------------------------- Editor: Please don't put in submissions that are purely for reformatting an entry to v2. We'll get around to all those v1 entries eventually. In the meantime, we want to keep the size of the reviewing queue to a minimum. We welcome submissions for new words, new senses of existing words, pronunciation corrections, spelling corrections, definition corrections, and for fixing formatting errors that we might easily overlook (such as a missing right bracket). |

<< review queue entry 75244 - submitted by 'cws' >> v2 Do v2 multi-word vocabularies and idiom vocabularies can have spaces and d on them now? Where can we see the guidelines on version 2 format? --------------------------------------- Editor: We need to document v2 format on the wiki. https://cc-cedict.org/wiki/format:syntax But currently, the only v2 feature that is documented there is a note on the use of semicolons in definitions: https://cc-cedict.org/wiki/format:syntax#semicolons We haven't yet written anything in the wiki about v2 pinyin format. * * * Yes, in v2, you can have spaces and hyphens. We designed v2 to be backwards compatible. Starting with a v2 entry, you just remove all spaces and hyphens, then insert a space after each numeral (unless it's followed by "]]"). (It's a bit more complicated in the case of headwords like "X光", but I'll keep it simple for the moment.) We will continue to publish CC-CEDICT in v1 format for apps that haven't been modified to handle v2 format. * * * A relatively small number of headwords contain non-hanzi characters. In v2, we handle these with braces { }. Here are some examples: {BP}機 {BP}机 [[{BP}-ji1]] /(loanword) beeper; pager/ 打{call} 打{call} [da3 {call}] /(slang) to cheer sb on/ In v1, each character in the headword was supposed to have a corresponding pinyin syllable. When it came to a term like "打call", we needed five pinyin syllables, even though the headword is pronounced as two syllables, so we made it [da3 c a l l]. In v2, strings surrounded by braces are treated as a single pseudo-character (in the headword) or a single pinyin pseudo-syllable (in the pinyin). In the above examples, both headwords have two (pseudo-)characters and two (pseudo-)syllables. This format enables us to indicate that the pinyin for BP机 should be written as BP-jī (not "B P jī", as v1 format would suggest) and 打call as "dǎ call" (not "dǎ c a l l"). * * * On our download page, we now have three versions of CC-CEDICT available: - standard (version 1, where any v2 entries are converted back to v1) - mixed (some unconverted entries still in v1 + others that have been manually converted to v2 by an editor) - version 2 (where any v1 entries are converted simplistically by a script* to v2) https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?handler=Download * The script removes all spaces in the pinyin, then reinserts a space before each capital letter other than the first letter of the pinyin. We have only just started manually converting entries to v2, so the mixed and v2 versions of CC-CEDICT don't offer much added value yet. Existing apps can continue to use v1 without recoding. Or they can upgrade to use v2 in the future (either when all entries have been converted to v2 by editors, or when a substantial proportion of them have been converted). |

<< review queue entry 75025 - submitted by 'cws' >> At least in Philippines, the term condominium is usually associated with high-rise residential buildings. And apartment on two or three floors residential buildings 公寓 should be listed when a learner search for condominium in the dictionary. Pleco have condominium. Not copying Pleco, I verify it with three search engines first before verifying it with Pleco ----- Which is more popular term, condominium or apartment? ChatGPT: The popularity of the terms "condominium" and "apartment" can vary by region and local conventions. In some places, one term may be more commonly used than the other, and in other areas, they may be used interchangeably. Additionally, the popularity of these terms might be influenced by cultural and legal factors. In some regions, particularly in North America, the term "apartment" is commonly used, while in others, like certain parts of Asia, the term "condominium" or its equivalent might be more prevalent. It's important to note that the popularity of these terms doesn't necessarily indicate a difference in the physical characteristics of the housing but often reflects local language conventions, legal distinctions, or historical usage patterns. If you're inquiring about specific housing options or discussing real estate, it's advisable to use the local terminology to avoid confusion. ---- In China, is there a distinction between condominium and apartment? Or do they have the same word? ChatGPT: In China, the term commonly used for both condominium and apartment is 公寓 (gōngyù). This term is quite broad and can refer to various types of residential buildings, including those where units are individually owned (condominiums) or rented out (apartments). So, in everyday language and general use, there may not be a clear distinction made between the two concepts. The context or additional details might be needed to understand whether a specific 公寓 refers to individually owned units or rental properties. --------------------------------- Editor: 1) "公寓 should be listed when a learner search for condominium in the dictionary." No, we don't care whether any given English word appears somewhere in the dictionary. Our purpose is to define Chinese words, not English words. 2) "condominium" is a hyponym of 公寓, not a synonym. In a condo, each unit is privately (and individually) owned, whereas that is not necessarily the case with a 公寓 since, for example, a 公寓 may be government-owned, providing public housing (see quote below). Such a building wouldn't be called a condo. Wikipedia ~ 公寓的住房产权各不相同，它可以是大规模的公营住宅，又可以是法律上的公寓大厦（包含多个公寓单位的大楼）内的业主自营（例如公寓楼共有制度），也可以是从私人房东处租赁的租户。 |

<< review queue entry 74498 - submitted by 'cws' >> https://www.google.com/search?q="养家糊口的人" Though Google has 1,260,000 results, most of those are topic about the English word breadwinner and its equivalent to Chinese. There are not many native Chinese content about 养家糊口的人 I'm not sure if this kind of definition belongs to CC-CEDICT, but for native Chinese speaker learning English, it's handy if an English-Chinese dictionary software can do a Chinese word lookup for an English word using CC-CEDICT dictionary data, e.g., breadwinner -> 养家糊口的人 2nd Google result https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/chinese/features/todays-phrase/ep-200428 3rd Google result https://gallerix.asia/news/lit/202303/kormilica-semi-debory-ellis/ ---------------------------------- Editor: > "it's handy if an English-Chinese dictionary software can do a Chinese word lookup ..." It would only be "handy" if a substantial proportion of the English language is covered. That would require a team of skilled bilingual lexicographers to generously devote thousands of hours to defining English words in Chinese ... for free. If you are able to put together such a team, I suggest you create a separate project – an English-to-Chinese dictionary – rather than trying to graft it onto a Chinese-to-English dictionary (CC-CEDICT). In any case, at CC-CEDICT, we don't have the skills, the time or the will to create an English-to-Chinese dictionary. Let alone doing it for free. |

<< review queue entry 74037 - submitted by 'cws' >> I consulted ChatGPT, aborted mutiny is translated as 未遂的叛變 2,370 results https://www.google.com/search?q="未遂的叛變" https://cn.nytimes.com/opinion/20230627/putin-russia-uprising/zh-hant/#:~:text=在未遂的叛變發生後的幾個小時內 There are results for 流產的叛變 though. Don't know why, as ChatGPT said that 流产's abortion is related to pregnancy only 923 results https://www.google.com/search?q="流產的叛變" https://tw.stock.yahoo.com/news/國際金融-盧布匯率跌2-1-開在近15個月新低-051758403.html#:~:text=全球投資人都在關注這場已經流產的叛變 unsuccessful vs abortive as per ChatGPT: My inquiry to ChatGPT: Is unsuccessful same as abortive? ChatGPT: While "unsuccessful" and "abortive" share a similar meaning of not achieving the desired outcome, there can be a subtle distinction between the two terms in certain contexts. "Unsuccessful" generally refers to an endeavor or action that did not achieve its intended goal or was not accomplished. It implies a lack of success without necessarily implying a deliberate or intentional cessation. "Abortive," on the other hand, often suggests a deliberate or premature termination of an action or process before it could reach its full potential or completion. It conveys the idea of something being cut short or halted prematurely. In the context of a mutiny, "abortive" implies that the mutiny was initiated but was stopped or suppressed before it could fully unfold or achieve its objectives. It emphasizes the idea of a planned rebellion that was terminated before it could be successfully carried out. So, while "unsuccessful" generally implies a lack of success, "abortive" specifically suggests an intentional or premature termination. ----------------------------------------- Editor: > "There are results for 流產的叛變 though. Don't know why, as ChatGPT said that 流产's abortion is related to pregnancy only." You don't know why? It's because ChatGPT was wrong, and you put too much faith in it. In fact, if you ask ChatGPT again with a different wording, you will find that ChatGPT will contradict the notion that "流产's abortion is related to pregnancy only." Try asking {As well as meaning "abortion", does 流产 also sometimes mean simply "fail to be accomplished"?} |

<< review queue entry 74191 - submitted by 'cws' >> ; -------------------------------- Editor: Can't figure out what your rationale is here. You regard "to oppose" and "to be opposed to" as different senses? I'd say they both correspond to the following Chinese definition: 持相反、相對的立場；不贊同。 例 「提出反對意見」、「父親反對這門親事」。 父親反對這門親事 "He opposes the marriage." = "He is opposed to the marriage". No? * * * Anyway, I think "oppose" should appear at the head of the definition. It's a better match for 反对 than "fight" because "fight" typically implies physical combat. "opposition" is not wrong, but in a C-E dictionary, it's implied by the verb gloss "to oppose", so it can be dropped. |

<< review queue entry 74182 - submitted by 'cws' >> I see more patterns of `variant of X` being written separately (2,239) as opposed to being attached (46) to the gloss itself. When to write it separately and when to attach it to a gloss? ------------------------------------- Editor: Short answer: Attach it to a gloss if (and only if) it relates specifically to that gloss. (That situation occurs when the meaning of the variant overlaps only *partially*, and there is, as a consequence, a need to clarify which *part* overlaps.) * * * To put it another way: - If it's in parenthesis, it's a *note relating to the gloss*. - If it's not in parenthesis, it *is* the gloss. |

<< review queue entry 74182 - submitted by 'cws' >> I see more patterns of `variant of X` being written separately (2,239) as opposed to being attached (46) to the gloss itself. When to write it separately and when to attach it to a gloss? ------------------------------- Editor: The basic principle is that the slash '/' is used to partition the definition into distinct senses. Example 1: 荍 荞 [qiao2] /common mallow (Malva sinensis)/variant of 蕎|荞[qiao2]/ This entry indicates that 荍 has two senses: - common mallow - buckwheat (i.e. same as 蕎) It would not make sense to write /common mallow (Malva sinensis) (variant of 蕎|荞[qiao2])/ because that would imply that common mallow is the same thing as buckwheat. ==== Example 2: 勣 𪟝 [ji4] /merit; accomplishment (variant of 績|绩[ji4])/ This entry indicates that 勣 is a variant of 績, but only a *partial* variant. That is, it's only used for the "merit; accomplishment" sense of 績, not for the "to spin (hemp)" sense. If 勣 had both meanings (i.e. "merit" and "to spin"), then it would be a full variant rather than a partial variant, and we would then simplify the entry as follows: 勣 𪟝 [ji4] /variant of 績|绩[ji4]/ ==== Example 3: 鱠 鲙 [kuai4] /used in 鱠魚|鲙鱼[kuai4 yu2]/minced or diced fish (variant of 膾|脍[kuai4])/ This entry indicates that 鱠 has two distinct senses: - Chinese herring (鱠魚), a species of fish - minced or diced fish (fish in general, not necessarily Chinese herring) In the 1st sense, 鱠 is not a variant of 膾, since 膾 doesn't mean "Chinese herring". In the 2nd sense (minced or diced fish), 鱠 IS a variant of 膾, and therefore we include that fact as a note within the definition of that sense. It's a *partial* variant because 鱠 is specifically fish whereas 膾 could be fish or pork etc. If it were a full variant, we would write the definition as /used in 鱠魚|鲙鱼[kuai4 yu2]/variant of 膾|脍[kuai4]/ What you propose is /used in 鱠魚|鲙鱼[kuai4 yu2]/minced or diced fish/variant of 膾|脍[kuai4]/ This would indicate that there are three distinct senses: - Chinese herring (鱠魚), a species of fish - minced or diced fish (fish in general, not necessarily Chinese herring) - chopped meat or fish ==== A consequence of this type of formatting is that whenever "variant of X" appears in a definition and is not in parenthesis, you can substitute the definition of X, and entry will still be correct. E.g. 荍 荞 [qiao2] /common mallow (Malva sinensis)/variant of 蕎|荞[qiao2]/ would change to 荍 荞 [qiao2] /common mallow (Malva sinensis)/buckwheat/ ... and the definition would still be correct. But when "variant of X" is in parenthesis (as in examples 2 and 3 above) you should NOT substitute the definition of X. ==== The formatting principles described above have been in place for only a few years, and not all older entries have been revised yet. |

<< review queue entry 74165 - submitted by 'cws' >> The first four combined words have exactly one meaning, and each component word of the combined word has exactly one meaning too. Thus I think it will help to prune the dictionary of words that are merely AB = A + B 电脑病毒 电脑 has exactly one meaning, computer. Likewise with 病毒 it has one meaning only, virus However, for compound word like 电脑语言; though both of its component words (电脑 and 语言) has exactly one meaning (computer and language respectively), 电脑语言 has two possible interpretations, i.e., programming language and computer language, thus I excluded it in the list of words to be pruned 電腦語言 电脑语言 [dian4 nao3 yu3 yan2] /programming language/computer language/ Or programming language and computer language have same semantic? We need to group them with semicolon 電腦語言 电脑语言 [dian4 nao3 yu3 yan2] /programming language; computer language/ By the way, there's a part in my code that segments dian4 nao3 bing4 du2 to dian4 nao3_bing4 du2. I can make a script that scan compound words (e.g., 电脑病毒) that will check if the compound word has one meaning only; and if in turn, both of its component words (电脑 and 病毒) has exactly one meaning too, then it will be tagged for pruning. From the pruning list produced, I will manually check and submit these compound words for pruning ---------------------------------------------- Editor: You say it will help to prune the dictionary that way, but you don't say *how* it will help. 电脑病毒 is a term that many dictionaries include, but you propose to delete it. This suggests your criteria for deletion may be too weak – i.e., it may result in needless deletions. Suppose we delete 电脑病毒, and then, a few years later, we refine the definition of 病毒 as follows: /(medicine) virus/computer virus/(fig.) harmful idea/ 电脑病毒 currently needs to be deleted by the standard you propose, but later on, the very same standard would dictate that it needs to be reinstated! |
