<< review queue entry 59825 - submitted by 'manuka' >> How do I answer your comments richwarm? I can't find a way to do it? About 往往 there is a book "Introduction to Chinese Syntax" by Xu Dan. In the chapter "3.2.2 Changchang and wangwang" he explains the difference and there is a table in the chapter 2.4.4 too. Take a look and tell us what do you think. Thanks. --------------------------------- Editor: The OED distinguishes two main senses of "often": 1. Many times; at many times; on numerous occasions; frequently; ... 2. Used to modify the whole of a statement of fact or opinion: in many instances; ... I think you can pretty much say that 常常 corresponds to {often(1)} and 往往 corresponds to {often(2)}. |

Then Mr. Trump won the election. And now we can argue that Mr. Trump is, in many ways, the first genuine Silicon Valley start-up candidate and president." |

<< review queue entry 59769 - submitted by 'manuka' >> 往往 means a situation or condition would often happen in the past. For example, you can say: “I used to/would often jog in the morning.” 我早上往往會跑步。 See 我早上時常會跑步 for the difference with "often" in present tense. ------------------------- Editor: It looks like you either uncritically read the following blog post or you wrote it yourself. https://qingwengrammar.wordpress.com/2015/11/14/qingwen-often-pt-1-2/ (往往會跑步 appears nowhere on the Web except on that page.) 往往 doesn't mean "a situation or condition would often happen in the past", as claimed in that blog. It's easy to find counterexamples. Here are a few: 1) 遺憾的是，病毒感染往往會留下終身烙印， Unfortunately, the viral infection frequently leaves scars for a lifetime. 2) 每次破獲一個案件後，只要耐心抽絲剝繭，往往會追到另一個集團，這種「案中查案」方式，占了破獲案件的很大比例。 Every time police break a case, they only have to patiently follow the threads and often they will come upon another organization. These instances of "a case within a case" account for a large proportion of police successes. 3) 背包客的旅行目的不僅在於遊覽風景名勝，更在於體驗一段「和異鄉人一樣的生活」，並打破語言和文化的樊籬，與當地人做朋友，因此往往會主動且積極地與當地民眾、其他旅人互動，分享彼此的價值觀及所見所聞。 Backpackers are interested in more than seeing the sights; they hope also to experience how other people live and to get past linguistic and cultural barriers to make friends with locals. As a result, they actively engage with locals and other travelers, discussing their values and talking about what they've seen. ---- Depending on context, the situation *may* be one that occurred in the past, but that sense of "past" is not conveyed by 往往. (In the following example, it's 過去 that indicates that it's something that *used* to happen.) 過去，漫長的暑假過後，往往會出現所謂的「九月墮胎潮」， In the past, there used to be a "September abortion wave" following the summer vacation, ---- 往, used singly as in 往事, can mean "past; previous", but as one dictionary (GF) notes, “往往”的词义跟“往”的各义项都不同. They also make the following point: “往往”可以指将来发生的事, which directly contradicts your claim. |

<< review queue entry 59587 - submitted by 'manuka' >> 动荡与挫败后，特朗普团队的反思和分歧. ------------------------------- Editor: Left examples on the RQ. Here are a few of them ~ 各種不同的挫敗，... Setbacks of all kinds [have been a major theme of Taiwanese agriculture for the past two decades.] 這也是李安自認人生最大的挫敗 [failed the college entrance exams twice running.] > Lee says that this is his greatest failure in life. 朱邦復不諱言十年前單挑微軟的挫敗，讓他一度豎起白旗。 Chu Bong-foo is not afraid to admit that his defeat when he took on Microsoft ten years ago caused him to throw in the towel for a while. 那種「上市兩個禮拜就準備撤架」的挫敗感，實在太殘酷了。 Seeing a product withdrawn from the shelves just two weeks after launch is devastating. |

<< review queue entry 59455 - submitted by 'manuka' >> 一块手巾 means "a hanky or the napkin you use to wipe your nose", but 一条手巾 means "a hand towel". Editor: I don't think 一块手巾 is such an informal term as "nose-rag". Also, I get the impression from Web snippets such as the following that 一块手巾 can refer to a towel. 坐在火堆另一头的张飞一边用一块手巾大力擦拭着自己的厚背砍刀一边瓮声瓮气的将杨戬的话打断， 水壶放在煤气灶上，里面的水被烧得滋滋响，麦克用一块手巾垫在手里，把水壶拿了下来。 晚上,一妻子用辣椒水情悄地放在一塊手巾上, 然後把它晾乾了。 (新疆民間故事集) 一块手巾的面积是20什么（平方厘米,平方分米,平方米） 优质解答: 平方分米 [That's too big for a hanky.] 手巾 : 【量词】 块、条【辨析】 用“块”、“条”搭配时,都表示单个的手巾。用“块”搭配时,强调的是手巾摊开的形状;用“条”搭配时,强调的是长条形的手巾。 比起一块简单的手巾，可能有人认为设计蓬松柔软的高级毛巾的人，才更配称得上是设计师。但我认为一块手巾，既能擦脸又能洗澡，这种最简单又最充分的价值体现才最高级。 他用一块手巾,其实是一块破布,蘸上清水,往自己赤裸的上身狠劲搓,单薄的上身已被搓红了。 当然，客人在的时候，工作人员不会去打扫卫生，更不会当着客人的面，用一块手巾擦杯子再去擦厕所什么的。 |

(Tsai's or Trump's) The "chessboard" sense (i.e. the board on which the game is played) is in M, for example, but PLC and Z mark it as "old". Z ~ 旧指棋盘. Examples ~ 但象戲規則雖然簡單易懂，棋局變化卻也十分繁複。 However, though the rules of xiangqi are easy to learn, the situations, positions, and possibilities are immensely complex. 在兩岸與美國的「三角」棋局中，國際局勢正考驗著我們的智慧。 How Taiwan maneuvers within the ROC-PRC-US triangle will be a test of our country's wisdom. 西安事變將蔣介石的棋局打亂，從此節節相扣，演變為中國今天這個局面。 The Xi'an Incident played havoc with Chiang's plans, starting the chain of events which led to the current situation. 樹梢沙沙，桌布飛揚，讓 賞心悅目的熱帶花園騷動起來。不過，真正掌控著整個花園氣氛的，是草皮上、棚架下的一方方小小棋局。 Trees sway and tablecloths flutter, but no matter-no one is paying attention to anything but the little chess tables placed here and there on the lawn and under the shelters. 但大陸市場發展太快，早已打亂各地布下的棋局， But the mainland market has been growing too fast, upsetting all previous calculations. 台灣因為特殊的政治因素，始終無法進入「東協加N」的棋局， Taiwan, for special political reasons, is unable to join any of the ASEAN+N groupings |

<< review queue entry 59217 - submitted by 'manuka' >> 而 here acts as "yet" (contrary to expectations) and "且" "futher" is an ancient word indicating future tense similar to 将. Editor: 1) We already have 而且 in the dictionary. 2) 「藥很苦，而且具有微毒，」 This is translated as "The (medicine) is very bitter and slightly poisonous," There is no element of "contrary to expectations" in 而且 here. In fact, it's the opposite – it means that something *consistent* with expectations is being added. 3) It's hard to find a meaningful English sentence containing "yet moreover". I did find this on the Web ~ "Say positive things out loud, yet moreover, believe them!" But I can't make sense of that. I think she meant "Say positive things out loud, and moreover, believe them!" |
