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? |

<< review queue entry 33833 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Q 你说 "生活就是不容易呀，太多小人了！"?? A 恩，你不觉得嘛，我觉得我太单纯了。现在我又个观点惹不起我还躲不起吗？ 中国是个惹不起的国家! 女人是惹不起的啦！ 谁都惹不起！ 只要有亲人好友还在国内，对这个机构就是既惹不起也躲不起。 我惹不起，我還躲不起嗎？ 如果发觉某人不是个善茬 惹不起还躲不起吗？ 我和老公只想赶紧摆脱他们，惹不起，还躲不起吗! Editor: Richard, great work on providing so much context. Fore reference, we have MOE's『不敢挑釁或對抗』. An example I saw would be “我们副局长都惹不起他，你让我们怎么管！” ("Our vice bureau chief won't even dare do anything to provoke him. How would you have us deal with it then!?") Or there's also MOE's example: 「他的個性火爆，誰都惹不起他。」 I would even so so far as to say that "惹不起，(還)躲不起" is a phrase worthy of adding to CEDICT. Maybe meaning "insufferable but unavoidable". |

<< review queue entry 37838 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Unless there is a particular reason to say "spoiled male child" rather than "spoiled boy", I think "spoiled boy" is a more natural, idiomatic expression. You wouldn't say "He's such a spoiled male child!" I wonder whether we can add "pampered only child"? It seems quite common for 独生子女 (only children, both boys and girls) to be referred to as 小皇帝. e.g. 现在中国大部分家庭中，父母和祖父母都侍候一个小皇帝－家中的独生子女。 See also 从"小皇帝"到新公民:理解独生子女 http://theory.people.com.cn/GB/49167/4029630.html & 独生子女等于小皇帝？ http://www.zuowenku.net/38212.shtml Editor: 小皇帝 appears to be gender neutral in some cases, 小公主 is definitely for girls. |

<< review queue entry 37521 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I don't think 掠食 means "raptor" though a "raptor" may be one kind of 掠食者. "hunting for food" is a bit off too, because it suggests that it's humans doing the hunting, rather than what is described in MoE's definition ~ 以捕食他種生物而藉以生存的動物，稱為該生物的「掠食者」。 J examples ~ The fish transform from pests to predators ... ... 这些鱼转变成了可怕的掠食着。 (I presume that 着 is meant to be a 者) prey on ~ They preyed on a wide variety of invertebrates and fish and were probably not fussy about which ones. 牠们掠食各种不同的无脊椎动物及鱼类，食性可能相当广。 predation ~ The early humans mostly died of predation, ... 早期的人类大多死于掠食，... (here, it's actually the humans that are the prey, not the hunters) predatory (attributive) ~ They nurture their relatively rare offspring with a large investment of parental care— milk, shared food and water, and protection from predators. 野生马子代的数量不多，因此亲代照顾较为周全，包括充足的母乳、物和水，以及保护子代不受掠食动物攻击。 Editor: Good job Richard, looks good. |

<< review queue entry 35660 - submitted by 'alanwatson' >> We yesterday changed 污蔑 to 污衊 on the grounds that MoE only had the latter. The same is true of 誣蔑/誣衊. On the other hand, even MoE includes 誣蔑 as a synonym (in the entry for 汙衊) and 誣蔑 also gets a lot of g hits, so I have suggested keeping both entries, making both variants and clarifying that they are verbs. Editor: Changes were already made in a previous entry. |
