<< review queue entry 38940 - submitted by 'mmmoore' >> example: 『春節時，紅旗人在門上貼紅掛旗，... 』 Google images can be consulted as well. I'm not certain if there is a specific English word for this item. Editor: I was going to add a verb sense "to display a flag" ~ e.g. 为了抗议违规拆迁，家家都挂旗表示！ but that can be considered to be handled by the entries for the individual hanzi, 挂 and 旗. I don't think we can use "kakemono". It's not a word that's used in English in this sense, except perhaps by advertising specialists. N has sth very different -- 挂旗 [guà qí] 1. [Law] shut down and dict.cn has an identical definition Could it mean that in some contexts? Something figurative, perhaps? |

<< review queue entry 39400 - submitted by 'mmmoore' >> M：比喻貪心不足。 From imandarinpod.com 『一般來說，鍋裡的飯菜比較多，碗裡的飯菜比較少。吃飯時總是先吃碗裡的，吃完了碗裡的再 吃鍋裡的。可是，如果碗裡的飯菜還沒吃完就想吃鍋裡的飯菜 … 這個人一定很談心、不知足。 』 I can't decide if we are doing these with or without the comma in the middle. For example we have an entries for 江山易改... both with AND without the comma. Thoughts? Editor: The changes to the submitted entries are based on the discussion, and a check on the frequency of some of the many variations of this saying, using Google result counts. Commas can be added or omitted without affecting searchability, provided software ignores commas in search terms and headwords (as MDBG does, for example). |

In addition, the Chinese phrase is not necessarily used in relation to a movement of people (though that is a common usage) ~ 她們在社區內，也循例扮演家裡的賢妻良 母角色，默默擔負著扶老攜幼的工作。 I have put this more literal sense second in the definition, since it is less common than the sense that is specifically applicable to the movement of a large number of people. Other examples ~ 1) 扶老攜幼的民眾走向碰孔口 As young and old alike approached the tunnel 2) 金岳、碧候兩村村民扶老攜幼地一邊烤肉、一邊觀賞舞蹈表演 the communities of Chinyueh and Piyahaw, young and old alike, came out to roast meat and enjoy the performances 3) 不論您是本國或外國人，不妨扶老攜幼前往凱達格蘭大道，聽聽這些故事……。 4) 為了不願當亡國奴，華北上千萬民眾扶老攜幼展開大逃亡 Unwilling to become vassals in a conquered state, tens of millions of people from northern China fled, with people aiding the young and the elderly in this great exodus. |

<< review queue entry 37909 - submitted by 'mmmoore' >> M：比喻江流狹窄有如一條衣帶。後泛指雖有江河阻隔，但不足 以限制交往。 News: 『作为*一衣带水*的邻邦，中日坚持走和平共处、世代友好、互 利合作、共同发展的道路，符合两国和两国人民的根本利益，有 利于亚洲和世界的和平、稳定与繁荣。』 I'm having a hard time understanding what MOE means by "有 如一條衣帶". If I understand correctly, the MOE definition translates to: "Figuratively, the narrowest of rivers still flows along one strip of water (?). Later came to refer to the idea that, although a river may isolate two places, that river is not sufficient to restrict those places from communicating." Or maybe the the first part is more like: "A flowing river is only as narrow as a strip of cloth." That would be more indicative of the comparative smallness of any water-filled separation. Anyhow, this phrase is used often in conjunction with 邻邦 when referring to Sino-Japanese relations (and sometimes cross-strait). ex: 『中国和日本是一衣带水的邻邦...』，『中国与日本是一衣 带水的邻国...』，『中国情势的发展和前途自受到一衣带水的台 湾同胞关注。』 |

<< review queue entry 37846 - submitted by 'mmmoore' >> I thought some clean-up in this space would be useful. 期貨合約與遠期合約的區別 ==================== 期貨合約與遠期合約雖然都是在交易時約定在將來某一時間按約 定的條件買賣一定數量的某種標的物的合約，但他們存在諸多區 別，主要有： (1)標準化程度不同 遠期合約遵循契約自由原則，合約中的相關條件如標的物的質 量、數量、交割地點和交割時間都是依據雙方的需要確定的；期 貨合約則是標準化的，期貨交易所為各種標的物的期貨合約制定 了標準化的數量、質量、交割地點、交割時間、交割方式、合約 規模等條款。 (2)交易場所不同 遠期合約沒有固定的場所，交易雙方各自尋找合適的對象；期貨 合約則在交易所內交易，一般不允許場外交易。 (3)違約風險不同 遠期合約的履行僅以簽約雙方的信譽為擔保，一旦一方無力或不 願履約時，另一方就得蒙受損失；期貨合約的履行則由交易所或 清算公司提供擔保。 (http://wiki.mbalib.com/zh-tw/) |

But, is it necessarily written or spoken or both? Editor: From the several dozen examples I looked at, it's almost always a verb. I didn't find an example where it's the noun "answer (on a test)". As a verb, it is not necessarily in relation to a *test* question, and not necessarily a *written* response. e.g. 有时候站起来作答时，我其实还没来得及分析成熟，答案只是一种说不清楚的直觉而已。 |

<< review queue entry 37824 - submitted by 'mmmoore' >> They're not all "off the cuff". "Off the cuff" means to speak without any planning, but particularly for people who are in formal situations or responsible positions (and therefore shouldn't do so). And, "off the cuff" doesn't imply that a person is saying something inappropriate they way that "隨意亂說" would indicate. Here's an example of a related phrase: 『她因为“芝麻酥糖”那 现成名词，说“酥”顺口带说了“糖”；*信口胡扯*，而偏能一语道 破，...』 In this case 酥 and 糖 refer to two female characters: 苏小姐 and 唐小姐。 |

<< review queue entry 37820 - submitted by 'mmmoore' >> News：『警方在他家中查抄出1支衝鋒槍、1支帶瞄準具的狙擊 步槍、... 』 Hey Richard, Hey Yves. 拋磚引玉: I wanted to open this one back up for discussion, since it may be an issue of word usage in the U.S. vs. Australia. All modern firearms come equipped with a device (sometimes a very simple one) for aiming that we call the "sight" in the U.S.. But, some rifles have a special telescope-like unit attached that we call a "scope" in the U.S.. In the news article that I quoted, I took the phrase "帶瞄準具 的" to indicate a rifle (sniper rifle in this case) with a "scope". Since all rifles presumable have a sight on them already, the phrase is indicating a special instrument for more accurate aiming, which we would call a "scope" in the U.S.. It would appear from some Google images searches 瞄準器 may be closer to the meaning of a "scope", but 瞄準具 seems to carry that meaning as well. Editor: after discussion. |

The stereotypes of 台妹 and 大陆妹 themselves have been evolving anyway. It seems, for example, that in some ways 台妹 is a less negative label than it was before, or even something to be proud of, while 大陆妹 is more negative now than it was in the early 1990s*. * "Gender and a New Geopolitics of Desire: The Seduction of Mainland Women in Taiwan and Hong Kong Media" ---- http://www.jstor.org/pss/3175092 I am going to treat 大陆妹 as an example of a [地方]妹 construct, like 湖南妹, 北妹 and so on, and not give it an entry in the dictionary. I propose to define 台妹, however, as 台 in this case does not simply refer to Taiwan. In other words, it's not a straightforward example of a [地方]妹 construct. Merry Christmas, everyone!
