<< review queue entry 67388 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> My apologies, I should have made my reasoning clearer in 71194. What I meant was that the relation between 份 and 分 here is a plain variant, not a simplification (as simplified uses 份 as well). +"异议分子" About 251 000 results +"异议份子" About 252 000 results +"异议分子" -異 -議 About 218 000 results +"异议份子" -異 -議 About 111 000 results --------------------------- Editor: Maybe this works as well as anything.

<< review queue entry 67683 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> 芸 in traditional as well MOE, LA, HDC, GR ----------------------------- Editor: 1) Thanks for correcting the traditional character. 2) I'll take this opportunity to rewrite the definition and add two more entries. 芸香 is common rue. It is not the family Rutaceae (aka "rue family" or "citrus family"). Rather, it is a *member* of that family. It is a member of Ruta (芸香屬), a genus in the family Rutaceae (芸香科), so 芸香 evidently lends its name to its genus and family. Chao&Yang (1945) defines 芸香 as "essence of rue, often burnt on festive occasions". However, it seems all later dictionaries define it as simply "rue", so I guess the meaning has shifted over time. |

<< review queue entry 67406 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> 1. traditional uses 木 radical for the "cane" meaning. 2. there are unicode variants with 刀 or 力 for that character that may depend on the font. MOE, LA, GF ------------------------------------------- Editor: Below are my comments again (sent 10 days ago). Didn't get any response to them. Further comments are shown inline. 1) Re: "traditional uses 木 radical for the 'cane' meaning." In Taiwan, 枴 is sometimes used, but it looks like 拐 is the usual character for the "cane" sense. For example, in Taiwan Panorama articles between 2011 and 2016, 拐杖 appears ten times. E.g. 雙腿逐漸孱弱無力，必須拄單拐杖移步，... 枴杖, on the other hand, does not appear in any article during that period. Google results (verbatim option): "拐杖" site:.tw - About 757,000 results "枴杖" site:.tw - About 59,900 results 2) GF is a dictionary that was written using simplified forms so I'm wondering why you quote it as a reference for this submission. 3) A cc-cedict entry is uniquely specified by its trad, simp, and pinyin. Therefore, it is not possible to have two separate entries beginning with 拐 拐 [guai3], as you have proposed. |

<< review queue entry 67378 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> 葯 used in a non-variant sense, 藥 would be considered the variant here (despite its 2x Google hits) MOE: 「花葯」：雄蕊上端之囊狀部分，內含花粉。 https://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/variants/rbt/word_attribute.rbt?quote_code=QjAzOTcz -------------------------------------------------- Editor: > 葯 used in a non-variant sense 1) Just on the face of it, that seems unlikely. According to MOE, the non-variant sense is 白芷之葉 -- leaves of Dahurian angelica, a species of plant used in traditional Chinese medicine. (See your own reference, quoted above.) Why would that sense of 葯 appear in the Chinese word for "anther"? "anther" is derived from Medieval Latin, "medication made from a flower"-- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anther That makes it seem even more likely that MOE is using 葯 in the variant sense ("medicine") rather than the non-variant sense ("leaves of Dahurian angelica"). 2) MOE says 葯 : 1. 白芷。 2. 參見「花葯」條。→「藥」的異體字 https://www.moedict.tw/%E8%91%AF So MOE is saying that in 花葯, 葯 is used as a variant of 藥 (medicine), not in the non-variant sense (Dahurian angelica). ----------------------------- Other trad-character dictionaries write the word as 花藥 rather than 花葯. E.g. LA, Dr.eye, Grand Ricci, KEY. Wikipedia writes the word as 花葯, but they state that this is based on MOE: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8A%B1%E8%91%AF#%E5%AD%97%E6%BA%90 So I regard both M and Wp as essentially a single source. ----------------------------- By the way, in Japanese, 葯 *is* in fact used to write the word for "anther" (pronounced "yaku"). It's not written as 薬 (the Japanese equivalent of 藥) or 花葯 or 花薬. https://jisho.org/search/%E8%91%AF Of course, that's a different language, but it may give a clue as to why MOE favours 花葯. ----------------------------- 花葯 has been proposed twice previously and rejected both times. In general, it can be a good idea to check the Change Log for the history of an entry, and address the issues raised in previous discussions before submitting. It saves us going over the same issues repeatedly. (份子 also has a history that you didn't seem to be aware of.) |

On top of that, the definition is wrong!* So this entry is a fail. But ... this is a word that seems not to have been used for 2,000 years, except to repeat the same line that was written all those years ago: 「岭巆嶙峋，洞無崖兮」 It's almost a theoretical question whether you pronounce ling with 2nd tone or 3rd tone, because what are the chances that you are going to need to pronounce this word out loud? - - - - - - - * The definition: Miles misunderstood the word 深邃, which is used in definitions of 岭巆. It doesn't mean "lofty". It does mean "deep", but not in the vertical-depth sense. It's more of a horizontal thing, as in "deep in the mountains". 岭巆 is about difficulty of access from the outside rather than loftiness, and I don't see evidence that it refers to valleys. 深邃 means 從地面往下或從外到裡的距離大。 In the case of 岭巆, it's the second sense: { 從外到裡 } 的距離大 Grand Ricci: au plus profond des montagnes; endroit retiré dans la montagne. |

<< review queue entry 67250 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> LA --------------------------------- Editor: 1. Thanks for pointing out that 秖 is first tone, not third. 2. I don't know what rule LA uses to determine simplified forms, but CC-CEDICT uses the PRC simplification standards, as published in documents such as 通用规范汉字表, which states 0246 规范字: 只 繁体字: (衹) 异体字: [祇 秖] https://zh.wikisource.org/zh-hans/%E9%80%9A%E7%94%A8%E8%A7%84%E8%8C%83%E6%B1%89%E5%AD%97%E8%A1%A8 That implies 秖 is to be simplified as 只, unless there is a note somewhere that the lines quoted above only apply to the "merely" sense and not to the "grain" sense. I don't see any such note, though. 3. Some dictionaries (e.g. Grand Ricci and Key) say 秖[zhi1] is a *synonym* of 只[zhi3] ("only; merely; just"). But a) Being a synonym is not enough to call it a variant. It has to have the same pronunciation as well. (At least, that's how CC-CEDICT uses the term "variant".) In this case, 秖 is [zhi1] whereas the relevant sense of 只 is [zhi3]. b) Other dictionaries (LA, M, ...) do not include that sense ("only; merely; just"), and I have no examples of that sort of usage. So I'm going to leave it out. |

<< review queue entry 67265 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> simp is also 剋 for this meaning according to LA, GF ---------------------------------------- Editor: Yves created this entry (剋 克 [kei1] /to scold/to beat/), commenting "简化字总表（1986年新版） says clearly that 剋 ->克, despite Z and N." https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?log_id=36743&return=ListChanges&handler=ViewLogEntry And it's true that 简化字总表 says K: 开〔開〕, 克〔剋〕, ... https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E7%AE%80%E5%8C%96%E5%AD%97%E6%80%BB%E8%A1%A8 But it looks like 简化字总表 is only referring to the other senses of 剋, because 1. In 通用规范汉字表, a) 剋 is a simplified character, included in 二级字表 as character number 4134. b) The appendix 规范字与繁体字、异体字对照表 also lists 剋 as a simplified character: 规范字 / 繁体字 / 异体字 剋 / -- / [尅] c) A footnote states that 剋, not 克, is to be used for the "scold; beat" sense. 注解d18: 剋：表示训斥、打人时读kēi，不简化作“克”。 https://zh.wikisource.org/zh-hans/%E9%80%9A%E7%94%A8%E8%A7%84%E8%8C%83%E6%B1%89%E5%AD%97%E8%A1%A8 2. In the New Age dictionary, there's an entry for 剋: 剋 kēi [方] 1.to beat; fight ... 2. to scold; curse ... 3. Baike has 挨剋，读音ái kēi，意思是受到指责、训斥。 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%8C%A8%E5%89%8B 4.

<< review queue entry 67247 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> TOCFL implies with a slash that it's a synonym of 號子 which seems broader in meaning. Wikipedia says it's a synonym of 經紀行.

<< review queue entry 67179 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> HSK 6 https://www.purpleculture.net/dictionary-details?word=烟花爆竹 ---------------------------------- Editor: A firecracker is a kind of firework*, so a definition like "fireworks and firecrackers" sounds strange. * Oxford Dictionary: firecracker: A loud, explosive firework. If a shop advertised that they sell "fruits and apples" it would similarly sound odd. Why would they add "apples", since "fruits" includes apples? The Baike definition indicates that 烟花爆竹 is just a general term covering all the various types of "fireworks": 烟花爆竹是指以烟火药为主要原料制成，引燃后通过燃烧或爆炸，产生光、声、色、型、烟雾等效果，用于观赏，具有易燃易爆危险的物品。 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%83%9F%E8%8A%B1%E7%88%86%E7%AB%B9 Yet I see "fireworks and firecrackers" in at least one dictionary. So what gives? I think it could be one of two possibilities: 1) it's a very literal translation of 烟花爆竹, or 2) "firecrackers" was added to make the meaning clearer because "fireworks" is ambiguous* (since it refers to either the pyrotechnic devices or the display they produce) * Merriam-Webster: Definition of "firework" 1: a device for producing a striking display by the combustion of explosive or flammable compositions - "setting off fireworks" 2: (fireworks plural) a display of fireworks - "a celebration marked by fireworks" Anyway, I prefer not to have a definition like "fireworks and firecrackers" that leaves the reader wondering exactly what it means. |

Machine translations are weak evidence. You need more than that. 2) The youdao example sentences do not provide evidence for the definitions you submitted. In those sentences, 没处 is a verb phrase consisting of a verb 没 ("not exist; not have; lack") and an object 处 ("place"). It doesn't mean "nowhere" in any of the senses of that word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nowhere It means "not have a place" or, equivalently, "have nowhere". It doesn't mean just "nowhere". For example, 没处诉苦 (in the 1st youdao sentence) means "not have (没) a place (处) to air one's grievances (诉苦)". We already have definitions for 没 and 处 that cover this sort of usage. 3.5 million results? Well there are 4.7 million Google results for "have nowhere", but you won't find an entry in an English dictionary for that phrase. And it looks like you likewise didn't find an entry for 没处 in any Chinese dictionary. |

<< review queue entry 66775 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> used as a verb, perhaps short for 更胜一筹 ------------------------------ Editor: thanks 更勝一籌 and 更勝 are obviously related. 更勝 is "superior to" and tends to be followed by a noun. 更勝一籌 is more like "superior by a notch" and tends to come at the end of a sentence. 1) 更勝 時值九二一震災後的一月餘，又逢農曆十五，入夜的圓月明澄如鏡，更勝災變時的中秋。 Today, a little more than a month after the 21 September earthquake, we have once again seen the full moon hanging round and bright in the sky, more beautiful still than the Harvest Moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days after the disaster. 知人善任與創造更好的工作環境，如此可能更勝於專業背景的要求。 Being a good judge of people's character and abilities, and creating a better working environment, were more important than a specialist background. 金門貢糖是廈門師父陳世命在民國二十幾年時引進，由於金門地區乾旱土質所產的花生粒小而圓，氣味濃郁，製成貢糖更勝廈門。 Tribute candy was first brought to Kinmen from Xiamen by master-candy-maker Chen Shih-ming in 1931. But while tribute candy has its origins in Fujian, most people agree that the candy of Kinmen is even better than that of Xiamen, in part because Kinmen's dry soil produces a smaller, rounder and more flavorful peanut. 走訪幾家位於華府的美國智庫，可發現這些地方門禁森嚴更勝政府機關，連已經約好的來客，都還得經過層層的保全關卡。 Visiting several Washington area think tanks, you quickly discover that security is tight. Even if you have made an appointment ahead of time, you still have to go through a number of security barriers. 在金門島地面下的軍事工程，工事之奇偉，更勝於地上。 The majestic construction projects underground on Kinmen surpass by far those that are above ground. 當醫界成為箭靶時，也有社工人員指出，家暴預先防治更勝於事後補救。 While the medical sector is being crucified, social workers explain that when it comes to domestic violence, an ounce of prevention is truly worth more than a pound of cure. 再加入人力派遣業這個媒人後，三角關係的複雜度更勝以往。 With the addition of the temp worker, the always complex relationship between labor and capital, now a triangular one, has become even more complex than before. 建立夥伴關係更勝於營利。 building relationships is more important than making profit. 活動力更勝常人 showing a lot more vitality than the average person can muster! 2) 更勝一籌 近年來，不少赴國外留學的人都反映，大陸留學生的英語能力不但不輸英語熱了好幾十年的台灣留學生，在字彙和表達能力上還更勝一籌。 Over the last few years, many Taiwanese students who have studied abroad have commented that their mainland-Chinese counterparts speak better English than Taiwanese students do, and have a better command of English vocabulary. 「客家人吃苦 耐勞能力不輸山東人，手藝更巧，這些吃食在他們手上施展開來，往往更勝一籌，」 "The Hakka are no less industrious and willing to endure hardship than Shandong people, but they are even more skillful, so that in their hands these foods often turn out even better," 真是社會版的尚鬼風氣，較電視節目更勝一籌！ Television responds to this need in people by joining in with the celebration of the supernatural, and suddenly our screens are filled with the self-appointed pundits of the ghost world. 福壽山茶比阿里山茶更勝一籌， believes that the teas of Fushou are superior to Mt. Ali teas. 色彩鮮豔度及均勻度都更勝一籌。 Plasma TVs win out in terms of brightness, contrast and color saturation. |

<< review queue entry 66163 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> 梁 → 樑 + variant (from TOCFL 5/6) ----------------------------------- Editor: 1) First 2 lines of the submission: To replace 橋梁 with 橋樑, you would need to establish that 橋樑 is the usual form. But I get results like this with Google (verbatim setting): "橋梁" - 16,200,000 "橋樑" - 8,530,000 "橋梁" site:.tw - 2,170,000 "橋樑" site:.tw - 1,760,000 2) The 3rd line of the submission: We have an entry that says 樑 and 梁 are variants. That implies that 橋樑 and 橋梁 are variants. So we don't need to create an entry like the 3rd line of the submission. (In other words, wherever possible, we document variants at the character level only.) |
