<< review queue entry 61137 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Lots of hits for this, seems to be called "synthetic image" but I'm trying to find what that means more specifically, in terms of design. Maybe there's a better way to say it. In any case, "image synthesis" seems to serve as the process of compositing two images. There is also 具象化. https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/394178691.html -------------------------------- Editor: A "synthetic image" is one that is generated by computer rather than obtained "naturally" (optically). That's not what 具象 means. 具象化 means "making something concrete/tangible". |

<< review queue entry 52447 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> http://www.ichacha.net/%E8%BF%B7%E6%84%9F.html Editor: In the ichacha link, there are no example sentences that were written in Chinese, only a single example of a translation of a sentence originally written in English (from "Lady Chatterley's Lover"). I don't why you think 迷感 means "to deceive" etc. It's a noun, not a verb. Example from the Web: 有一点迷感与担心 I'm a bit confused and anxious. (Literally, "have a bit (of) confusion and anxiety") In 迷感, 迷 means "confused" and 感 means "feeling", hence "confused feeling" (i.e. confusion). It's a standard combination: (experience)+感 受挫感 feeling of being thwarted (frustration) 沉醉感 feeling of disorientation etc. In other words, it's a construct, and we don't intend to document all __感 constructs. We already have "(suffix) sense of ~" in the definition of 感, and a number of examples such as 归属感 sense of belonging 满足感 sense of satisfaction Google finds only one example of 迷感双眼 on the entire Web. It's certainly not enough evidence for the contention that 迷感 means "to dazzle". There seems to be a lot of guesswork in this submission. |

<< review queue entry 52401 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Please find a way to express the idea in your shorthand that the those last four terms ("concept/point of view/system or method/outlook") generally come when 观 is postfixed to various 次 like 学习观 "teaching system or method" and 得道观 "ethical outlook" etc. Don't know how you would describe that using your formulae. Aside: I don't usually get any feedback from you about whether and how these things are actually implemented. Is there any way to review a given contributor's contributions over the last few years to see how much of my feedback is actually implemented? ----------------------------------------------------- Editor: "system" is only suited to one or two cases like 價值觀, as far as I can see, and we have 價值觀 in the dictionary. I don't think "system" or "method" is appropriate for 学习观. 觀 is used in the sense of outlook etc. in a number of terms where it isn't a "postfix" attached to a two-character word (see examples below), so I don't want to make a point of describing it as a postfix or suffix in the definition. 觀點 point of view 主觀 subjectivity 觀念 sense; idea; conception; concept; notion 樂觀 optimistic; hopeful; sanguine 悲觀 pessimistic 客觀 objectivity I have replied to you by email about the matter raised in your "aside". |

<< review queue entry 52402 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> This was rejected before by ycandau because he deemed it unnecessary because there is already 内心 and 深处. However, one of my tests for 成语 colloquialism is whether there are significant hits for a four-字 expression (e.g., putting it in double-quotes in Google). There are over 3 million hits for "内心深处" (in quotes) in Google, meaning these four 字 (or, if you will, the two sets of two 字) are commonly bound together. However slight, there is a unique bound semantic meaning of this 4字 次 separate from the semantic meanings of the two pairs of 次. -------------------------------------------- Editor: "in one's heart of hearts" is often associated with a feeling that one denies at some level (e.g. "I didn't want to admit it, but in my heart of hearts, I knew that was true.") There's no such connotation with 內心深處, as far as I can tell. I looked at a number of examples such as this one: 十六年前，只因鄰家小孩請他摺一架紙飛機玩耍，喚起了他內心深處的飛行夢，從此一頭栽入紙飛機的天地。雖然大學讀的是中文系，和航太、機械原理一點也扯不上邊，但說起空氣動力學，他的功力一點也不輸物理老師。 When 16 years ago a neighbor's child asked Chuo to make a paper airplane, his dream of flight was called up from deep within, and from that moment on he was suddenly immersed in the world of the paper airplane. Although he majored in Chinese at the university level and had no courses at all dealing with aerospace or mechanics, when it came to aerodynamics he was on a par with any physics teacher. |

<< review queue entry 36868 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> From 天赐我爱 Ep. 1. Confirmed many hits online. Editor: It doesn't mean "kind and wealthy" at all. If you read 感情 as kind and 豐富 as wealthy, you make a total mistake. It means rich in feelings, the contrary of a dry-hearted person. As this is understandable from its parts, and none of our editors seemed to be able to come up with good English equivalents, I am shelving it. |

<< review queue entry 36216 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Please promote this over "tangyi" -- it is what they use on mainland. They don't understand "tangyi". I put "clothes" in there to help with the search, since it just gets lost when you type "iron" -- but maybe you have a better strategy. There is a fundamental and crippling problem with your dictionary that it is so loaded with (albeit rich and wonderful) definitions that one can get lost in the minutiae without finding what one is really searching for, and it is buried. You need some more intelligence in the lookups for this to be of good use in many cases. Editor: maybe you are a little confused. 燙衣 is "to iron clothes", and it's perfectly understood in PRC. 熨斗 is a noun. |

<< review queue entry 36326 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Why are there two different texts governing the meaning of 极? I was looking at "light-emitting diode" which is 光 二极管 (semantically "bright two-pole [diode] conductor"). But the definition of 极 shows only "extreme, utmost, furthest, final" and yet if you look it up alone it shows "extremely / pole (geography, physics) / utmost / top". I'd like to see the sense of "pole" under the LED definition. I have seen this before, where you seem to have two sometimes conflicting or scattered sources of information for the same zi. Don't understand that. Editor: When you submit a suggestion here, you are submitting to the editors of the CC-CEDICT dictionary. It appears that you are using a website (www.mdbg.net, perhaps?) which uses other sources as well as CC- CEDICT. In any case, the definition for 极 in CEDICT is "extremely / pole (geography, physics) / utmost / top". The other definition you quoted is from the Unihan database, not CEDICT. If the website you are using is displaying "sometimes conflicting or scattered sources of information for the same zi", you could ask the owner of that website about it, but it is not something the editors of CEDICT can fix. For issues related to the MDBG site, you can contact the owner via http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=contact |

<< review queue entry 36032 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> I was told (by a not necessarily reliable source) that after 天后 was used, 格格 was used in Qing Dynasty. Big show on in China now, 还珠格格 Haizhu Gege, where 格 meant concubine or princess, I think. Needs better attestation. Editor: 格 is not Ming, it doesn't mean concubine, it has nothing to do with 天后 (which mostly was not a word used for empresses). 格格 is a Manchu word used at the Qing court, "princess". It cannot be reduced to 格. 川島芳子 was 格格 还珠格格 Huan2 (not "hai") Zhu1 Gege, is Taiwanese and was first aired in '98. I bought the first season around 2000. Old news. thanks for the submission, I suppose we shall add an entry for 格格 |

<< review queue entry 35062 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> When I used this for somber, my Beijing friend said that this is not quite its meaning. "Somber" in English is more sad, reflective, pensive. Her sense was that 阴暗 is more "dirty," perhaps "wicked." Editor: yes and no. 陰暗 does mean "somber" (gloomy): 阴暗心情 dark mood, somber mood. But it also means "shadowy". It's all a matter of context. Basically this simply means "dark". |

<< review queue entry 35040 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> Double check this. I am not a native speaker, just looked up this expression on Google and saw that it gets 13 million hits so must be a common expression, built from 亲密 and 接触, which you already have. Editor: As you noted, it's just a construct; or rather, a commonly collocated set of words. |
