Comment:	<< review queue entry 63497 - submitted by 'miles' >> Adjective "fatigued" is not natural English and is probably cribbed from a gloss in a Chinese dictionary. If you want an adjective, it should be tired, weary, exhausted. ("Fatigue" would be acceptable as a noun.) The Chinese synonyms on Baidu https://hanyu.baidu.com/zici/s?wd=疲困&query=疲困 are all adjectives and include the transferred meaning of feeble economic performance. ------------------------------------ Editor: > Adjective "fatigued" is not natural English That's not true. It's quite natural, and it's easy to find examples of its use. In the Oxford dictionary, for example, there are 18 examples such as "If you give up easily when you're fatigued, we'll notice that, too." To see all of their examples, go to https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fatigue and in the "verb" section, click "+ More example sentences". "enfeebled" has connotations of permanent or terminal weakness (as in "My elderly brain is too enfeebled to work it out." - example from Oxford Dictionaries). As far as I can see, that's not appropriate for 疲困.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 62289 - submitted by 'miles' >> see Baidu https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%E5%91%95%E5%90%90%E8%A2%8B -------------------------------- Editor: 1) I don't think a dictionary entry is needed for 呕吐袋, given that we have 呕吐 and 袋. It's evidently a bag (袋) to vomit (呕吐) into -- a sick bag, barf bag, puke bag, or any of a dozen or more other names. For similar reasons, I wouldn't suggest adding terms like 集尿袋 or 垃圾袋. 2) Our older entry 清洁袋 is wrong, I believe. A 清洁袋 is not necessarily intended for collecting vomit. For example, there's this on the Web ~ 【起飛後廣播】 ... 在您前方座椅靠背的口袋里有清潔袋,功您扔置雜物時使用。 ... That suggests that, even on planes, a 清洁袋 isn't necessarily a sick bag. Or see the following examples of 清洁袋 usage, which are unrelated to vomit. http://n4-q.mafengwo.net/s11/M00/CD/B2/wKgBEFqQuw2AYlM4AAyYRTv1p4Y60.jpeg?imageView2%2F2%2Fw%2F600%2Fh%2F600%2Fq%2F90 (The Japanese on that sign, nexty to the Chinese, indicates that the bags provided free so that visitors can carry their rubbish away from the area.) https://www.gvhealth.com/zh/polythene-bags-aprons-cn/disposables-overview/waste-bag-range/111-chinese/disposables-cn/849-clear-bags-cn.html As for "sanitation bag", that's a rather vague term to have at the head of the definition, and it has strong connotations of a bag used to collect human fecal waste. Web ~ "Wag Sanitation Bag Kits - Each Kit is a double bag system with toilet paper & wipes. The inner bag contains powder that gels up to 31-32oz. of liquid & processes & deordorizes solids." I think that's rarely a 清洁袋 is intended for.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 51329 - submitted by 'miles' >> I think "clerk" just means employee. The page http://www.baike.com/wiki/%E4%B9%A6%E8%AE%B0 gives several meanings. In historical context, (webloc. cit., definition (2)) "scribe" or "copyist" would be a better translation. In political context, it goes up to General Secretary of the Party. I think the word also has the connotation of "librarian". I came across this in the context of the guys who could write and read cuneiform clay tablets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editor: The first sense given in American Heritage, for example, is "A person employed to handle correspondence, keep files, and do clerical work for another person or an organization." That looks to me like what LA says of 書記 ~ 負責文書處理或資料繕寫的人員。 (Note that 文書處理 is defined as 辦理文書收發、分文、歸檔、保管等的業務 in LA.) Furthermore, the example of that usage of 書記 in LA is 書記官, which is translated as "court clerk" in the following: TP ~ 將學問完全融入生活中，賴英照領悟頗多，所以他在大三時考上書記官，大四考上律師執照 With so much learning and understanding of many areas incorporated into his very existence, Lai passed the exam to become a court clerk while still in his third year at school, then passed the bar exam in his fourth year. ~ 法律系畢業前，他先考上書記官卻無心赴任 Before graduating with a law degree, he tested into a position as a court clerk but was not interested in the job The gloss "secretary" needs explanation, I think.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 51636 - submitted by 'miles' >> The definition "to refer in particular to" is traditional translation, e.g. in zdic or Xinhua dict. But the first 50 examples of usage in Juku http://jukuu.com/show-%E7%89%B9%E6%8C%87-1.html are unambiguously the adverb "especially". I found 特指疑问句, meaning question with a specific interrogative pronoun 谁，什么，哪里. Editor: I think the meaning and use of 特指 is quite well understood from "to refer in particular to". Especially, the first 50 examples on J are "especially" (adverbial) only in the English; without the context of a definition-like sentence, "especially" would be incomprehensible.
