<< review queue entry 73732 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> https://fanyi.baidu.com/#zh/en/%E5%B1%95%E9%99%88 My assistant professor wrote "展陈的构想" as a requirement for a student PowerPoint homework assignment and I'm still not sure what she meant by it specifically, but she seemed to mean how the work will be displayed, so from this and the Baidu translates, the meaning of 展陈 may be shaded a little more towards a mode of display or arrangement than 展览 which is more like the broad idea of an exhibition. But I don't have adequate evidence for this. ---------------------------------- Editor: Sorry for the late response. Yes, I think what you wrote in your comments is correct. However, I found mostly verb usage, such as 在展場明亮的天窗下，「勞動文學區」中展陳著陌上塵、利玉芳、李昌憲等勞工文學作家的作品， 位於館場中心的一個個展示櫃中，則展陳著以「變形記」為主題的各式作品。 每一片花瓣皺摺的深淺與舒展的波紋大小，都纖毫畢露、一一展陳； |

The country is the No. 1 producer of citrus fruit in the world. 这使得在现状惨淡但前途光明的互联网视频广告市场，Google将成为一骑绝尘的绝对领先者。 This makes Google the clear leader in the fledgling but promising market for web-video advertising. - 为什么她能够一骑绝尘，顶住压力，成功夺冠？ - 小米、华为纷纷下海，比亚迪还能在新能源汽车赛道一骑绝尘吗？ - 任天堂NS依旧一骑绝尘遥遥领先 |

<< review queue entry 71732 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Seems to be what Baidu tends to prefer, it's also in every Chinese input method I've checked, and when I try to distinguish 天敌 in context with 猎物 they don't grasp it well. Chinese just doesn't seem fully to schematize this Darwinian notion as a lexical pair in the same way as the European languages. Sometimes I use 被捕食 to refer to prey and that seems to sit better in context with 捕食者, but that need not be in the dictionaries (cf. 被试, which we use interchangeably with 受试者). |

<< review queue entry 71032 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Read in a student essay, confirmed in Baidu --------------------------------- Editor: It's in very few dictionaries, but then, it's readily understood from its component characters. Grand Ricci does have an entry for it: "avoir vecu inutilement" Here are a few examples of usage: 「只要有新的想法就畫，沒想法的時候更要畫。」一天不作畫就像白活似的 “When I’m struck with a new idea, I draw, but it’s when I have no ideas that I need to draw even more.” For him, a day without drawing is like a day unlived. 「老天沒讓我死，不要我白活一場，就是要讓我在世上多讀幾篇好文章，好詩！」 "Fate simply hasn't let me die yet. And he doesn't want me to waste the time I have left. He wants me to use my time on Earth to read more good books and poems!" 「我整理的原則，就是留下有記憶點的東西。試想，如果現在我們突然得了失憶症，你什麼都不記得了，等於沒有活過，但這些東西讓你不會白活。」 “My principle for decluttering is that I keep those items that are connected to memories. Just imagine suddenly losing your memory so you couldn’t recall anything. It’d be like you had never lived at all. But those stored items would give you back your past.” 但我總覺得受制於媒體、追逐於流行的生命沒什麼道理，那樣的生命畢竟是淺薄，白活了 Yet, I always feel that there's no rationale to a life controlled by the media, spent pursuing what's popular. That kind of life is really very shallow, very vulgar. 如果你从没去听过歌剧, 你简直就是白活。 If you have never been to an opera, you haven't lived. |

<< review queue entry 71033 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Going through student introspective essays so you might get barraged; sorry. Context is: "虽然有点心灵鸡汤，但说的也很有十分中肯不无道理" ------------------------------------ Editor: 1) "you might get barraged" Haha. Well, let's see how we go. Only two so far, I think(?) 2) I appreciate you including that context sentence. Thanks, it's helpful. 3) The phrase "used in the negative" in this dictionary would mean that people say things like "不是心灵鸡汤". But I think you mean "used with a negative connotation", i.e. disparagingly, as in your context example: 虽然有点心灵鸡汤... 4) Note that we already have the following entry: 雞湯 鸡汤 [ji1 tang1] /chicken stock/chicken soup/(fig.) chicken soup for the soul – i.e. feel-good motivational stories (often used disparagingly because the stories don't really effect change in people's lives)/ And there are derivative terms such as 雞湯文 (defined by Wiktionary as "inspirational article (often implying little real content)"). |

<< review queue entry 69044 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> https://jikipedia.com/definition/704048158 Not sure about the precise meaning of 活 for the first half. Could mean product or could be a corruption of 伙 but I see no evidence of the tone or other clues. One native said it means "joke." So my proposed use of the word "work" kind of splits the difference. ------------------------------------ Editor: 活 is in various dictionaries as "job, work". I don't see why it wouldn't be exactly that meaning here. I imagine it could be often used in response to a joke ("Nice one!") but I don't think 活 *specifically* means joke. 好活 is often used without 当赏. e.g. - 你看我这个视频剪辑地怎么样？ - 不错，好活！ Your ref: 一般等於「幹得好！老哥NB「「這操作，絕了！」 Another ref: 好活当赏是什么梗 2020年2月3日 好活当赏意思就是你做的非常好，干得漂亮，鼓励的意思！称赞事情做的很棒，值得给予奖赏！ 好活当赏是什么梗(好活当赏什么意思) 例子： 当你的朋友完成了一件任务，并且做的非常好，你就可以对他说，好活好活当赏！ http://znyxb.com/197.html |

<< review queue entry 63412 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Just spent several hours running around offices at Shanghai Jiaoda doing original research on this and have definitive explanations from the graduate school: 毕业证书 means certificate of graduation and until recently was conventionally presented together with the official diploma 学位证书 for full-time employment purposes. You could get part-time employment with the 毕业证书 alone. These days I think they don't worry about the actual 学位证书 for employment purposes, though it would be required to present for acceptance into a subsequent academic program. How to code these two entries for this is beyond me. Editors, please help. (By the way, mainland Chinese school officials here specifically specializing in diploma affairs had no idea what 文凭 means, although my Taiwanese friends understand it impicitly. That may call for a change to 文凭 entry as well.) ------------------------------------------------------ Editor: 1) It seems there are four levels when a student exits a school: 1. 肄业证书 certificate of study (didn't finish the course) 2. 结业证书 certificate of completion (completed all courses but failed too many subjects to graduate) 3. 毕业证书 graduation certificate (did well enough to graduate) 4. 学位证书 degree certificate (did well enough to graduate, and also satisfied the requirements to be awarded a degree) 2) Zhihu question: 学位证和毕业证有什么区别？为什么奇葩的存在两个证书？ One answer: 学位证代表的是你的教育程度和学术水平达到规定标准的一种学术称号；毕业证只要你学期修满 ，成绩合格就能取得。 https://www.zhihu.com/question/22741161 3) The following webpage is a comprehensive overview in English: https://wenr.wes.org/2017/04/china-new-non-standardized-degree-certificate Here is an extract from it. <QUOTE> In the Chinese context, a degree certificate (or degree) signifies formal qualification at a specific level of academic achievement, while a graduation certificate merely indicates whether or not a student has graduated. Graduation from programs at any level depends on completion of required coursework, as well as additional requirements, such as short-term or long-term internships, social practice, external English tests, or a thesis. Upon completion, students are typically awarded two types of certification: · A graduation certificate issued directly by the institution · A degree certificate issued by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council A graduation certificate is a prerequisite for receiving a degree. In cases where the student does not meet the requirements for a degree, they may still receive the graduation certificate. <UNQUOTE> |

Easy to see what CEDICT has and doesn't have just by rolling over the lists.

I think it's more than just pots and pans. 瓢, for example, isn't a pot or a pan. Your 2nd reference also indicates it's not only pots and pans: 泛指厨房日常生活用品 2. example 1963年，廚師湯四福、湯豬角夥同菜販郭章旗，以3人的姓氏為名，打出「郭三湯」名號，他們首開先例購入桌椅出租，替客戶備齊鍋碗瓢盆的設宴方式，改寫了內門的辦桌文化。 "In 1963, chefs Tang Sifu and Tang Zhujiao, with vegetable seller Guo Zhangqi, banded together to create a bandoh business. They called their firm Guo San Tang (putting their family names together). They were the first in the bandoh business to purchase dining tables and chairs to rent out to customers, and to provide all the essential cooking utensils and cutlery. These new initiatives rewrote the bandoh culture in Neimen." 3. There's a book that has already produced a "priority list": "500 Common Chinese Idioms: An Annotated Frequency Dictionary". We've been adding sayings from its sister publication "500 Common Chinese Proverbs and Colloquial Expressions: An Annotated Frequency Dictionary" and we'll probably get around to the idiom book at some point, adding the ones we don't have already. |

<< review queue entry 67088 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Do you generally want this kind of thing (23二逼, 66溜, etc.)? If so, please indicate. --------------------------------------------- Editor: 1) It's low-priority (for me). There are so many ways you can write it: 二B 二逼 2B 23 2逼 二比 二屄 2比 etc. If I had an army of underlings, I might ask them to work on this sort of thing to keep them busy, but for me personally, life's too short. 2) Why do you mention "13"? It's "2" followed by "3", not "2" followed by "13". The 2 is there for the èr, and the "3" is there because it looks like "B", which is a euphemistic way of writing 屄. 3) Why do you suggest [er4 shi2 san1] as the pronunciation? That's how you'd pronounce it if it actually meant "twenty-three" rather than "idiot". 4) 23 is an "abbreviation for idiot"? I don't think so. It stands for a *Chinese* word 二屄, not the English word "idiot". And it's not much of an abbreviation since 23 has the same number of characters as 二屄. |

<< review queue entry 67071 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Combined and in quotes in Google search, 18000 hits; not sure if this qualifies it in your book as a full-fledged 四字成语 -- would help if I understood your criteria for that. See accompanying 虚妄荒谬. ---------------------------------------- Editor: I'd say it doesn't qualify, basically because it's just two words that essentially mean the same thing: 虚妄 and 荒诞. Both mean "preposterous; absurd; ridiculous". As far as I could see, no dictionary has any chengyu starting with 虚妄, although there are, in addition to the two you submitted, various four-character expressions like 虛妄不實 虛妄無據 虛妄無理 etc. There's a page listing some 30 actual chengyu that are all under the heading 虚妄荒诞方面的成语, but 虚妄荒诞 itself is not one of them: http://www.esk365.com/chengyu/tscy131.html If you're thinking that our definition of 虛妄 ("fabricated") doesn't convey that it means "preposterous", that's a reasonable thought. We do need to improve our entry for 虛妄. Here's a 虛妄 example about somebody thinking of becoming a Falun Gong devotee: 即使「成佛」的許諾是虛妄的，最壞的結果也不過是自己「變成了一個好人」，... <<Even if the promise that devotees will become Buddhas is preposterous, the worst thing that can happen is that "you will become a good person.">> |

I don't think they're called "cassette stoves" except maybe in Chinglish. I imagine the fuel could be butane, for example, not necessarily propane. Many references to 卡式炉 suggest that they are used outdoors, which isn't what "tabletop cooking" suggests to me. E.g. 户外游玩，除了卡式炉，我们也经常会用分体式气炉。 I will indeed propose a change in the definition of 卡式, along the lines of 1.

Specifically, it signifies being in a disadvantageous position rather than "feeling vexed". For example: 但也苦於「縱深」的不足 "... but the field [the history of Taiwan] remains plagued by a certain lack of depth" [They're not saying that the field feels vexed that depth is lacking. They're saying the field *suffers from* a lack of depth.] 二十世紀初年，中國仍苦於鴉片戰爭以來， "At the beginning of the 20th century, China was still in the bitter aftermath of the Opium War, ..."

[He may have felt vexed at the time, but I don't think that's what they're saying here. They're saying he was disadvantaged by not having a field guide.] |

<< review queue entry 65730 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E8%8D%89%E8%8F%85%E4%BA%BA%E5%91%BD 杀人如麻 it would be nice if CC-CEDICT started documenting these kinds of crosslinks to related phrases ----------------------------------------- Editor: We started using cross-links many years ago. For example, our definition of 注音字母 is "see 注音符號". And we define 奸滑 as "variant of 奸猾". As for 草芥人命, it's pretty rare compared to 草菅人命, so it's reasonable for its entry to link to the more common phrase, just as HDC does. But anyway, I'm more interested in getting the definitions right, and our current definition of 草菅人命 is a bit of a mess. The phrase doesn't mean "to mow people down", nor is it a noun meaning "politician" (of any sort). It means "to have disregard for human life". Example: 黑社会九龙组和政府官员勾结，草芥人命获得利益 Adding a cross-link to 杀人如麻 is going too far (for cc-cedict), IMO. It's not a synonym or a variant; it just uses a similar metaphor. You can add things like that to Wiktionary, if you like. Wiktionary is ambitious: entries can include etymologies, example sentences, cross-links to words that use a similar metaphor, and so on. But it seems like with that approach, they are overstretched, because they lack entries for many basic Chinese words. |

<< review queue entry 65107 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Perhaps you should check all entries that have either cosy (e.g., 暖烘烘/暖融融) or cozy (e.g., this) and include both spellings to facilitate searches. ------------------------------------------- Editor: If you want to look up the Chinese for an English expression, using cc-cedict should be a last resort. It's optimized as a Chinese-to-English dictionary, not the reverse. We don't clutter the definitions of Chinese words with multiple spellings of the same word, or include superfluous synonyms, etc. That's why cc-cedict's format guidelines specify that we use American English: "American English should be used for the English definitions." https://cc-cedict.org/wiki/format:syntax#basic_format (It's not because we are Americans, btw. Most of the people currently volunteering on cc-cedict aren't American.) If you want to go from English to Chinese, use an English-Chinese dictionary instead, such as Cambridge. There, you can look up either "cosy" or "cozy", and the results are much better than what you get from a Chinese-English dictionary like ours. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-chinese-traditional/cosy https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english-chinese-traditional/cozy If you have trouble reading the Chinese definition, there are tools that can help, such as Zhongwen for Chrome. Or you can paste the Chinese into MDBG's text box ~ https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary#text You can also paste a Chinese definition into Google Translate, and the pinyin for each word will be displayed. Anyway, "cozy" appears to be the usual American spelling, so I'm changing 'cosy' to 'cozy' in our entries. |

<< review queue entry 64005 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Isn't it more or less the opposite of 积极性? A little like 否定性 but more about emotion, whereas 否定性 is more literally contradictory. I don't have a reference for this. ------------------------------------- Editor: 1) It can be used as an adjective (passive; negative) as well as a noun (passivity; negativity). 2) "Isn't it more or less the opposite of 积极性?" Yes, but that means it's often better rendered as "passive" rather than "negative". For example, 詹火生進一步說明，從理論來看，幫助失業勞工的政策主要有三個環節──職業訓練，就業輔導，以及失業保險。前兩項是所謂的「積極性」輔導，而領取金錢的失業保險則是「消極性」的。 As Chan explains, in theory there are three elements to policies to help the jobless-vocational training, employment guidance, and unemployment insurance. The first two are so-called "active" measures, while unemployment insurance is considered "passive." 3) "more about emotion" Not necessarily. It's about *not taking active steps to achieve one's ends*. This may be accompanied by certain emotions such as despondency. Or not — see my example above. |

It's the job of a dictionary to define the *reusable* elements of sentences. |

<< review queue entry 60852 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Your English translation is of the first couplet of the Laozi 81, about good words (信言不美，美言不信). This chengyu is the second couplet, which is about the good man. Following is Lin Yutang's translation: A good man does not argue; / he who argues is not a good man. For the full translation, see: http://pete.zelchenko.com/laozi.htm |

<< review queue entry 61135 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Saw this called a "point chart" on Baidu ------------------------------ Editor: "line chart", as defined in the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_chart is certainly correct for 线性图 (or at least, one of its meanings). "point chart" seems wrong. How could a chart described as 线性 be a *point* chart? I can find nothing on Baidu that says 线性图 means "point chart". I *can* find a Baidu page that says "point chart" is 点状图 in Chinese. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%BA%BF%E5%BD%A2%E5%9B%BE/10645362 "graph" is a more general term than 线性图 is. |
