Comment:	<< review queue entry 67976 - submitted by 'pepe' >> NEC: 她要试图忘记自己对克里斯托弗的执念。 She would try to forget her obsession with Christopher. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%89%A7%E5%BF%B5/75389 ---------------------------------- Editor: In some of the examples below (e.g. where it appears as 执念于...), it's a stative verb. 她藉故鄉鹿港為故事的發生地──鹿城。在鹿城國域的東、西、南、北、中，各盤據著一個懷抱復仇意念的女鬼，這股執念讓她們干犯輪迴，逗留人世， Li sets her stories in her hometown of Lukang, here appearing as the city of Lu, about which vengeful female spirits have entrenched themselves, one each to the north, south, east, and west, and another in its center. Their implacability has put them outside of the cycle of life and death-unable to be reborn, they tarry in the human world as ghosts. 在詩集《不眠的眼》（1965）後記中他寫道：「似有一股不可抗力的苦悶，令我不得不嚮往詩。苦悶的壓力愈大，對於詩的執念愈重。 In the 1965 poetry collection The Sleepless Eye, he wrote, "It's as if there were an unstoppable depression always pushing me toward poetry. The more heavily it weighs on me, the more I hold onto poetry. 走進儲藏室，姚瑞中攤開一張張新作解釋說，這回《甜蜜蜜》系列是將現代人的逸樂圖像融合進龐大山水中。其中，〈小山水非死不可〉是一個姚瑞中畫裡慣常出現的犬儒者人物端坐在叢山峻嶺中；原野如此嬌美，圖中人卻專注使用著iPad上臉書（facebook）網站；山林如此龐大，焦點卻凝聚在只占畫面極微小人物急於向外溝通的執念上，所以此畫才反諷地取名自facebook的諧音「非死不可」。 We ascended to his studio, on an apartment building's rooftop, where Yao unveiled one painting after another from his "Honeymoon" series. He explained how each of the works inserts modern people into vast traditional landscapes. Take, for instance, Facebook Chat (whose Chinese name means "unavoidable death" but sounds like "Facebook"). The cynic-protagonist, a recurring figure in Yao's work, sits amid vast mountain forests, occupying only a tiny portion of the painting. Despite the beautiful, unspoiled setting, the man's focus is on his iPad, as he checks his Facebook account. 江忠倫則像許多喜歡科幻電影的年輕人一樣，對於「宇宙星體」變幻莫測的題材特別有執念。 Like many young people who enjoy science-fiction movies, Chiang Chung-lun has a special interest in the phantasmagoric universe. 48歲的職業婦女張小姐，一直為「衣櫃明明很滿，卻找不到要穿的衣服」而煩惱，最近卻赫然開竅：自己衣滿為患的原因，其實是放不下「哪天瘦下來還能穿」的執念，想通後，她清出數十包狀況堪稱良好的衣服，感覺神清氣爽，甚至帶動兒子力行衣物減量，買東西也更加審慎。山下英子就認為，真正棘手的是覺得「好可惜」、「捨不得」這類情緒與執著，然而，沒派上用場甚至胡亂存放的物品，反而造成情緒上的愧疚與不安，而充滿回憶的執念之物，本身就是一種強大束縛，一味囤積並非好事，有時還需特殊儀式（例如焚燒），或是跟它說「謝謝」等告別的話，才能處理掉。 Hideko Yamashita believes that the feelings of attachment expressed in such statements as “What a shame!” or “I hate to part with them” constitute the thorniest issue encountered in the quest for danshari. Yet unused stuff that takes up space engenders its own kind of emotional burdens, and objects that trigger memories can also serve as shackles. Constant hoarding isn’t healthy. Sometimes disposing of these objects requires a special ceremony, such as bringing them outside to burn or offering a few words before saying goodbye. 這些年「復古」成為時興的詞之前，早已有股隱形的在地文化力量，在台灣各城鄉間默默集結、蔓延，甚至群策群力形成聚落，而重啟歷史門扉。那是新一頁往日榮光、昔時繁景的亮麗再現，隱埋於街坊的老靈魂們，紛自黯淡的鄰里中、斑駁的牆垣旁、狹仄的巷弄間、頹圮的簷槨上……，重新冒出了綠芽、長出了希望。他們翻轉「老」「舊」「古」刻板印象，翻轉框架，翻轉執念，翻轉偏見，翻轉限制，翻轉視野，翻轉感動，翻轉想像，更翻轉了歷史、時光 Long before “retro” became trendy, “local culture” was already gathering strength, establishing new outposts out of sight of the general public and quietly preparing to reopen the gates of history. It was a brilliant reemergence celebrating the panoply of the past, hidden within the ghosts of old neighborhoods and springing up again beside dappled walls, narrow alleys, and crumbling rooftops. The individuals involved in this renaissance turned stereotypical notions of “old,” “worn” and "ancient” on their heads, upending paradigms, overturning obsessions, subverting biases, limits and images, and even flipping around the progressions of time and history. 执念地练习不会使你的演奏变得完美 You know, practicing obsessively doesn't make your playing perfect. 你这么执念于异鬼一事最简单的解释就是你在说实话你还不去称那颗心脏 And the simplest explanation for your grating obsession with the white walkers is that you're telling the truth You'll finish weighing that heart? 我从来都没去过这样的地方不过心里总有一股执念 I've never been in there, but I'd love to. 神明可以让你放开一切不要执念于旁骛 It's about letting go and not holding onto something. 而这种病态心理可能出现在有身体畸形的人身上或是因伤留疤的人一个对自己的外观很执念很介意的人 And that pathology can manifest itself in somebody with a physical deformity or who suffered a scarring injury, somebody who's obsessively self-conscious about his own physical appearance. 德拉弗桑诺相信人类自愿灭绝运动符合埃德尔德的期望，因为他们代表着死亡的冲动，而不是执念于过去的繁殖理念。 Dell'Aversano believes that VHEMT fulfills Edelman's mandate because they embody the death drive rather than ideas that focus on the reproduction of the past. 你专注于他，执念于他，渴望得到他，并扭曲现实，愿不顾一切以赢得他的爱。 You focus on the person, you obsessively think about them, you crave them, you distort reality, your willingness to take enormous risks to win this person.

Less is more. For example, "caress" and "touch lightly" suggest -- incorrectly, as far as I can see -- that it can be a case of someone gently laying a hand on somebody or something. I've reduced the number of glosses from eight to four. Does 拂 mean "approach" when followed by any noun other than 晓? If not, I would not include that sense. I don't think "fling" is apt -- 拂 doesn't mean "throw". Other dictionaries describe the action in 拂袖而起 as a "flick".

Comment:	<< review queue entry 67275 - submitted by 'pepe' >> 白俄罗斯坚持实行刑法人性化，更广泛运用除监禁以外的选择性处罚措施，特别是对那些未对社会构成极大危害或初犯的罪犯以及未成年人。 In Belarus constant efforts are being made to render criminal law more humane and to make wider use of alternative forms [...] 改善卫生系统的准入、人性化以及市民接触的满意度，扩大各医疗保健提供者之间的交流与合作。 Improvement of access, humanization and satisfaction of contacts of citizens with the health system and expanding the communication [...] 在学校、难民营和清真寺中以及通过媒体，整个中东的一代又一代儿童接受仇恨、诽谤以色列人及犹太人和将其非人性化的教育。 In schools, camps and mosques and through the media, generation after generation of children across the Middle East have been taught to hate, vilify and dehumanize Israelis and Jews. 我们必须使全球化具有人性化的一面，否则全球化本身就会使人类受害。 Either we humanize globalization or globalization itself will undermine humanity. Baidu has articles on 人性化 and 人性化设计, which I would interpret as talking about user-friendly design and the first article also gives user-friendly as a translation. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E4%BA%BA%E6%80%A7%E5%8C%96 https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E4%BA%BA%E6%80%A7%E5%8C%96%E8%AE%BE%E8%AE%A1/1698717 However, 人性化, like other words ending on 化, doesn't feel like an adjective, so I tried to formulate it as an action. ------------------------------------------------ Editor: > "人性化, like other words ending on 化, doesn't feel like an adjective, so I tried to formulate it as an action." I think that's a mistaken notion. Those ___化 words can function as verbs, nouns or adjectives. (Their English counterparts often end in __ize, ___ization, and __ized respectively.) Some of them are, in fact, usually used adjectivally. E.g 大众化 which typically means "suited to the taste or the budget of the common people". example ~ 最让人兴奋的是价格非常大众化。 "But the most exciting thing is the price is very accessible [i.e. within the budget of the average person]." 人性化 seems to be the same – it's usually used adjectivally. What else could it be in the following example? 你不需要用到拳或腳，而是用很人性化、很安全的方式讓對方屈服。 - - - - - - - More examples: 这么人性化的设计别人怎么没想到呢？ How is it that no one else ever thought of such a user-friendly design? 我也用过微软拼音。可是我觉得它经常会给一些稀奇古怪的词汇选项。相比起来，谷歌的输入法就智能多了。不过微软拼音还是有一个非常人性化的功能，我估计好多人都没注意到。 I've also used the Microsoft system. But I often think it gives some really rare and obscure character choices. By comparison, the Google system is much smarter. But Microsoft pinyin has another a very user-friendly function, but I don't think many people have noticed it. 那倒没必要，我们采用的是人性化设计，开车的时候就自动在充电了。 On the contrary, that's not necessary. What we believe in is 'people-friendly design'. When you're driving the car, it automatically charges. 雖然，男性服飾的彈性小，但正經傳統的西裝，在設計師們不斷地「顛覆」、「解構」下，也有慢慢朝「舒適」、「人性化」邁進的趨勢。 Although there has been little flexibility in men's fashion, the orthodox traditional Western suit is not utterly immutable. With designers constantly "overturning" and "deconstructing" the suit, it has steadily moved in the direction of being "comfortable" and "user-friendly." 前年是「婦女健康年」，台北市衛生局在所屬的七家市立醫院推行「婦女親善服務」，提供女性朋友更人性化的醫療環境。 Last year was declared "women's health year." The seven municipal hospitals run by the Taipei Bureau of Health (TBOH) promoted efforts to make the treatment environment more friendly to women. 高雄的美除了來自諸多人性化的公共空間，更建立在躲藏地底下「看不見」的污水系統建設上。 Kaohsiung's beauty comes not only from its people-oriented public spaces, but also from an unseen source under the ground-its sewage system.

Depending on context, that language might be referred to as a dialect. Example: 其結果，就是朝夕相處卻形同陌路，台灣媒體把她／他們視為治安隱憂，台灣勞工把她／他們視為搶飯碗者；而她／他們則操著雇主聽不懂的家鄉話，互吐在異鄉討生活的苦水與怨憤。 "The upshot is that in spite of interacting day and night, we are strangers to one another: The Taiwanese media treats migrant workers as a threat to law and order, and Taiwanese laborers see them as a threat to their jobs. Meanwhile, when the migrant workers themselves vent their anger and complaints about trying to make a living in this foreign land, they do so in a language their employers cannot understand." So why draw the user's attention to the entry for 方言? Because a 家乡话 may be a dialect? If we included cross-references to synonyms, antonyms, related words, and so on, our entries would become quite cluttered. And this link to 方言 seems to be based on the premise that a 家乡话 is a dialect of the language one speaks oneself, or is a Sinitic topolect. The example above shows that's not necessarily the case.

I'm not convinced "street market" an accurate translation. In fact, it may not even be a translation of 街市. It could be that it's the other way around, that 街市 is a (bad) translation of English "street market". The example appears on the following website, which appears to have copied the entire ABC Chinese Dictionary in breach of copyright, as well as copying from other sources as well. They give the ABC definition "downtown streets; shopping center" without attribution. (I think "shopping center" is an incorrect definition, though.) https://bkrs.info/slovo.php?ch=%E4%BB%BF%E9%80%A0 In the second example, "street market" is given as the literal (character-by-character) translation of 街市, not as its actual meaning. That sentence describes the etymological origin of 街市 in Cantonese. Nowadays, in Cantonese, 街市 means "wet market, market place, i.e. an indoor market where fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly-butchered meat, live fish, poultry, etc. are sold; household goods, daily necessities, etc. may also be for sale in separate sections". [source: ABC Cantonese Dictionary]. Note that it's defined as "an indoor market", so the original "street" sense has been lost. 2) "shopping street" In the other three examples, I would say the meaning is as given here: 商店集中的市區。 https://www.moedict.tw/~%E8%A1%97%E5%B8%82 i.e. it's an urban district in which commerce is concentrated -- a downtown area. It's a 市區: a district rather than a street. So it's not "shopping street". Example: 1920年代宜蘭城西門渡口的街市就是一片繁華。 "In the 1920s, the area of Yilan City around West Gate Ford was a thriving commercial district."

Comment:	<< review queue entry 67006 - submitted by 'pepe' >> Provided definition according to PLC, OCC, ABC Definition GF: 恭敬而谨慎 Examples GF: 处世恭谨 Cross-Straits Dict: 他以恭謹的態度面對每一項挑戰, 從來都不敢掉以輕心。 ---------------------------------------------------- Editor: It's obvious that "respectful and cautious" is an attempt at a direct translation of 恭敬谨慎, which is the definition found in various dictionaries. "respectful and cautious" appeared in ACE ("A Chinese Dictionary"), first published in 1978, and has been copied and re-copied in numerous dictionaries since then. The three sources you cited (PLC, OCC and ABC) are based on that 1978 dictionary to a large extent. As far as the entry for 恭謹 goes, they are essentially a single source. The problem is, "respectful and cautious" is not a good definition. Well, the "respectful" part is right, but not "cautious". 恭謹 describes a person's attitude or disposition, and "cautious" suggests that they are wary. But that's not part of the meaning of 恭謹. The 谨慎 part of 恭敬谨慎, in my opinion, doesn't mean "cautious; wary" but is, in this context, more or less a synonym of 恭敬. It means "behaving in a discreet manner (as one should in order to show respect)". One dictionary that didn't copy from ACE is the Far East C-E Dictionary. Their definition for 恭謹 is quite good, in my opinion: "respectfully serious". The "serious" bit reflects the fact that people who are 恭謹 do not display frivolity. They take what they are doing seriously. On the other hand, being serious (not frivolous) is part of being respectful, so I'm not sure it's necessary to include "serious". Examples: 1) 走進上海市郊一座台商鞋廠，偌大的廠房安靜無聲，上千名勞工埋首裁剪；不時巡查的台灣幹部在旁盯促指點，受教的工人則一臉恭謹，努力學著。誰能預料，這裡面，有多少工人會出師成為未來老闆、台商的競爭者？ "As you enter a Taiwanese shoe manufacturing plant in a suburban county of Shanghai, the factory is silent as the 1,000 or so workers bury their heads in concentration over their cutting. Taiwanese managers who periodically make the rounds watch and offer advice, while the employees look respectful and eager to learn more. Who knows how many of the workers in this factory will not themselves become skilled supervisors and future bosses, competing with the Taiwanese companies?" (There is no suggestion here that the workers are cautious or wary in their manner.) 2) 老畫家李澤藩夫婦，迄未說聲光榮或驕傲，只恭恭謹謹地把總統、副總統的禮物供在神祖牌前。 This is an elderly Taiwanese couple whose son has received a Nobel Prize in chemistry, and they are offering gifts received from the president and vice-president at the ancestral tablet in their home. It's unlikely they are being "cautious". There is presumably no risk that they need to be wary of. 3) 黃瑞華才剛坐定便一一點起名來，二十多名男性被告和關係人應聲出列，恭謹地站成一排，等候訊問。 As soon as [Judge] Huang sits, she begins calling the names of more than 20 male defendants and persons involved with the case, who stand respectfully in a row and await questioning. (They are standing respectfully but presumably not "cautiously".) 4) 大哥戴著墨鏡，身穿黑色披風，在眾嘍囉的簇擁下威風行走，突然他想起了什麼，酷酷地手指一勾，嘍囉趕緊拿出行動電話，雙手恭謹奉上：「大哥，打吧！」。 <A triad boss in sunglasses and a black cape strides past groups of underlings. He is suddenly struck by a thought and coolly crooks a finger. An underling rushes over with a cellular phone, and offers it up to the boss with both hands, saying, "Boss, make your call."> (雙手恭謹奉上 means he hands the phone over deferentially, not warily.) 5) 這種敬神恤鬼，以恭謹和悲心看待一切有情眾生的態度， This respectful and compassionate attitude toward all sentient beings [shows through ...] (It would give the wrong idea to say that being cautious is an element of this attitude.)
