The poet archaized her work with many Elizabethan words. 这间亭子具有古风。 The pavilion has an antiquated appearance. 每个国家都有其纯朴的古风和合适的礼仪； Every country has its own age-old traditions and rules of etiquette which are suited to its people. 在西洋家庭里，丈母娘跟女婿间的争斗，是至今保存的古风，我们中国家庭里婆婆和媳妇的敌视，也不输他们那样悠久的历史。 In Western families the fighting between mother and son-in-law is an old custom preserved to this day.In Chinese families, the animosity between mother and daughter-in-law has a history no less lengthy. As we reflect over the last year at the onset of the new, we pay tribute to a host of people who have embraced this spirit of maintaining the basics. In a fast-paced era of ruthless strategies and superficial images, they maintain a touch of something from days gone by and also show far-reaching vision. 歲末年初，回顧過去一年，我們欣見許多人擁抱基本功的價值和精神，堅守崗位。在這個講究速度、權謀、表象，甚而只問目的、不擇手段的時代，他們看來懷抱著古風，且目光遠大。 https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=e7440d41-ef6b-472a-8fb8-4934eb56842c&CatId=1 在桃源县想看到老幼黄发垂髫，怡然自乐的光景，并不容易。不过或者因为历史的传统，地方人倒很和气，保存一点古风 。 沈从文《湘西》 倾国倾城，天字第一号外国美人是埃及女皇克娄巴德拉－－埃及的古风 是女人愈象猫愈算得美。 钱钟书《猫》 掌柜回来的时候，帮忙的人早吃过饭；因为鲁镇还有些古风，所以不上一更，便都回家睡觉了。 By the time the manager got back, the helpers had long since eaten. Since Lu Town still preserved some ancient customs, well before the First Watch everyone had already gone home and to bed. (Lyell) By the time the landlord came back the other helpers had finished their meal. And Luzhen being rather old-fashioned, they all went home to sleep before the first watch. (Yangs) By seven o'clock, the hired help had finished their dinner and - Luzhen being an old-fashioned kind of a place - taken themselves off to bed, (Lovell) 鲁迅《明天》 * * * ※ 古体诗 【Wenlin】 n. a form of pre-Tang poetry usually having five/seven characters per line 【Pleco】 NOUN a form of pre-Tang poetry, usu. having five or seven characters to each line, without strict tonal patterns or rhyme schemes (opp. 近体诗) 【LAC】 一种诗体。每首诗句数不拘，有四言、五言、六言、七言、杂言诸体。用韵、平仄、对仗均无定则（与「今体诗」、「近体诗」相区别）。也作「古诗」、「古风」。 【MoE】 诗歌的一种型体。相对于近体诗而言。每句有四言、五言、六言、七言等，句数无限制，用韵无定则，不拘平仄对偶。简称为「古诗」。 【规范】 名 唐代近体诗产生以前除楚辞以外的各种诗歌的统称。这种诗体格律自由, 用韵较宽, 句数不限(跟“近体诗”相区别)。 (也说古风､古诗。) * * * ※ 近体诗 【Wenlin】 n. “modern style” poetry of Tang NOUN “modern style” poetry, referring to innovations in classical poetry during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), marked by strict tonal patterns and rhyme schemes (opp. 古体诗) 【LAC】 一种诗体。兴盛于唐代，有绝句、律诗、排律三种格式。除排律外，其字数、句数、平仄、对仗、声律等都有严格的限制（与「古诗」、「古体诗」相区别）。也作「今体诗」。 【MoE】 包括绝句、律诗、排律等形式，约形成于唐代，相对于古体诗而言。声韵有定则，且除排律外，句数都有限制。也称为「今体诗」。 【规范】 名 指唐代形成的格律诗。包括律诗和绝句(跟“古体诗”相区别)。这种诗体在句数､字数､用韵､平仄和对仗等方面都有严格的要求。 (也说今体诗。) * * * ※ 今体诗 【LAC】 一种诗体。兴盛于唐代，有绝句、律诗、排律三种格式。除排律外，其字数、句数、平仄、对仗、声律等都有严格的限制（与「古诗」、「古体诗」相区别）。也作「近体诗」。 【MoE】 凡绝句、律诗、排律，皆属于今体诗。形成于唐代。相对于古体诗而言。唐．张籍〈酬秘书王丞见寄〉诗：「今体诗中偏出格，常参官里每同班。」也称为「近体诗」。 【规范】 名 近体诗。 |

As this "best of Taiwan" story continues up to the present, we know the blaze didn't extinguish the Shiues' business. That year, amid public pessimism, they built a temporary structure to keep up production, then took things step by step. 「台灣之最」的故事走到現在，無情的火災當然沒有澆熄薛丕拱父子的事業之路，當年他們在眾人唱衰聲中，硬是以搭建臨時棚架趕工生產的方式，戰勝危機。 https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=62d65c41-8f40-4eb6-93ff-efa1fe9d6a65&CatId=1 在這歷史的交接點，最忙的，怕是政治人物了！銅鑼灣地鐵邊，一出站，賣獎券的寫著標語：「反倒退，不撤退，跨越九七，進軍九八，獎券行籌款活動，每張二十元，請多支持。」被港特首董建華形容到國外「唱衰香港」的民主黨正在募款。 At this historic crossroads, perhaps the busiest people are political activists. As soon as you leave the Causeway Bay underground station, you see a slogan for the sale of lottery tickets: "Oppose retrogression, never retreat; carry on through 1997 and fight on into 1998.

This is a fund-raising activity for the Democratic Party, which has been described by Tung Chee-hwa as going around the world "singing a funeral march for Hong Kong." https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=f48b9b59-9a3b-44a0-9946-359be9fa796a&CatId=1 ---------------------------------- Editor: the 'g' in 'chang4' as submitted was a "script g" (Unicode 0261) |

<< review queue entry 62691 - submitted by 'sl89' >> * MoE gives the pronunciation xuánchuǎn, but 规范词典 gives xuánchuǎi as the pronunciation, with the note 「“揣”这里不读chuāi或chuài。」. All dictionaries I have access to agree. I can find no evidence of the character 揣 ever being pronounced chuǎn, much less as part of the word 悬揣. Unihan has six readings for this character, none of which is chuǎn (chuāi, chuǎi, chuài, duǒ, zhuī, tuán). 【Wenlin】 v. suppose; guess; speculate; conjecture 【Pleco】 speculate; conjecture 【MoE】 凭空揣测、猜想。如：「你的话没有事实根据，只是悬揣而已。」 【规范】 动 凭空猜想 | 不得妄加悬揣。 你总是凭空悬揣没有科学依据。 You always conjecture without scientific basis. 是深深尝了世间味，探了艺术之宫的，却回过来过那种通常以为枯寂的持律念佛的生活，他的态度该是怎样，他的言论该是怎样，实在难以悬揣 。 叶圣陶：两法师 这样说来，我的小说和艺术的距离之远，也就可想而知了，然而到今日还能蒙着小说的名，甚而至于且有成集的机会，无论如何总不能不说是一件侥幸的事，但侥幸虽使我不安于心，而悬揣 人间暂时还有读者，则究竟也仍然是高兴的。 鲁迅：《呐喊》自序 |

"That's the value of older people in the workforce: only an older doctor, with years of experience, knows how to cure the worst diseases." https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=ad69bde5-3180-483b-93dd-5a28aca956a4&CatId=3 一直到今天，拜藥師佛的佛教徒還以「藥師如來神咒」替病人治病。 首先必須洗澡漱口，保持身口的潔淨，然後對病人吃的食物或所服的藥湯藥丸，持咒念一百零八遍，才給病人服食，據說這樣有藥到病除的功能。 Even today Buddhists who worship him can cure the sick in his name. They must cleanse themselves by bathing and rinsing out their mouths and then recite a sacred formula 108 times over the food or medicine to be given to the sick person. https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=8c6d178b-2c6e-4d99-b46e-2b35ad5b1295&CatId=1 西藥在發現之初，確實對某種疾病有藥到病除之效，卻往往在使用的幾年後被發現有副作用。許多人身受其害的抗生素即是一例。今日特效藥，明日致命傷，常常使得管理藥物者不得不加以限量、禁用，最後甚至淘汰。 Many Western medicines that have been effective at first in curing certain diseases have later been found to have harmful side effects, antibiotics being a prime example for many people. The wonder drug of today may be proven a lethal poison and pulled from the market tomorrow. https://www.taiwan-panorama.com/Articles/Details?Guid=1eba1451-ead0-495e-9070-a33254d0c074&CatId=1 |

In the water, clinging to the stern of the sampan was a man with only his head showing above the water. 在后梢, 听到大娘同五多谈着柴米. At the stern, Madam and Wuduo were talking.

Then he would size up his opponent: if it happened to be someone who stuttered so badly that he couldn't get the second word out after the first, Ah Q would curse him up one side and down the other; if it was someone so puny and weak that he could hardly stand, Ah Q would start a fight. And yet, strange to tell, in all such encounters Ah Q somehow still managed to come out the loser more often than not. (Lyell) > Whenever this taboo was disregarded, whether intentionally or not, Ah Q would fly into a rage, his ringworm scars turning scarlet. He would look over the offender, and if it were someone weak in repartee he would curse him, while if it were a poor fighter he would hit him. Yet, curiously enough, it was usually Ah Q who was worsted in these encounters, (Yangs) > Any flaunting of the taboo - whether deliberate or accidental - provoked first the controversial scars to glow a furious red. Ah-Q would then size up his adversary: the dull-witted he would subject to a tongue-lashing; the weak he would punch in the nose. The curious thing, though, was how often -in fact, almost always - Ah-Q came off worse.

<< review queue entry 65693 - submitted by 'sl89' >> * Seems to mostly be used as part of the expression 同仇敌忾/敌忾同仇 (first variant is in the dict.). In this expression 敌忾 refers to hatred towards a common enemy, but I think 敌忾 by itself can be just hatred towards *one's* (perceived) enemy. In the quotation from 阿Ｑ正传 below, Ah-Q, who hates nuns, feels 敌忾 when he sees one. This hatred is not shared. 【Wenlin】 n. hatred toward the enemy 【Pleco】 hatred towards the enemy 【MoE】 語本《左傳．文公四年》：「諸侯敵王所愾，而獻其功。」指共同抵禦大家所憤恨的人。 | 《東周列國志．第七一回》：「安得穰苴今日起，大張敵愾慰蒼生。」 将到酒店门口，早已有些高兴了。 但对面走来了静修庵里的小尼姑。阿Ｑ便在平时，看见伊也一定要唾骂，而况在屈辱之后呢？他于是发生了回忆，又发生了敌忾了。 > He headed away toward the wineshop and by the time he drew near the door he had long since begun to feel quite happy again. But walking straight toward him was a young Buddhist nun from the Convent of Silent Cultivation. Even in ordinary times, Ah Q would always have spit whenever he ran across a nun and now, having just been humiliated, he had all the more reason. At this point he began to think back over his day and once again began itching for revenge. (Lyell) > He walked slowly away and by the time he approached the tavern door he was quite cheerful again. Just then, however, a little nun from the Convent of Quiet Self-Improvement came walking towards him. The sight of a nun always made Ah Q swear; how much more so, then, after these humiliations? When he recalled what had happened, his anger flared up again. (Yangs) > By the time he reached the entrance to the tavern, he was feeling rather pleased with life. A young nun from the Convent of Quiet Cultivation advanced towards him. She would have got a heckle out of him at the best of times, and now, with the memory of his recent humiliations fresh in his mind, was no time to hold back. Bile rose up at the memory of the day's debacles. (Lovell) 鲁迅，《阿Ｑ正传》 我记得在这回北平沦陷期间，日本人及其同侪曾再西提出火烧圆明园这一案，来唤起我们对大英帝国的敌忾 。我不好说啥。纵说，也不好说他们错。 俞平伯《我生的那一年》 但在团体方面，陈白与女角萝的名字，为众人习惯连在一处提及的已经有了多日，这就是说他们的恋爱已到成了公开的事实。因为这理由，这大学生对于陈白抱了一种敌忾 ，也就很久了。 沈从文《一个女剧员的生活》 |

But Ah Q was a loner, and so I've got no evidence in favor of the word meaning "high rank" either. (Lyell) > Again, if he had had an elder or younger brother called Ah Fu (prosperity), then he would certainly be called Ah Gui (nobility). But he was all on his own; thus there is no justification for writing Ah Gui (nobility). (Yangs) > Or again, if he had had a brother called Fu, 'Prosperous', then the gui of 'noble' would have had a strong parallel logic.

<< review queue entry 65684 - submitted by 'monigeria' >> The entry for 好香 that we just had reminded me of this. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%9C%9F%E9%A6%99 真香 1. (Internet slang, neologism) used to describe someone doing something that he or she had previously swore never to do [from 2014] 2. Used other than with a figurative or idiomatic meaning: see 真, 香. https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E7%9C%9F%E9%A6%99/22700736?fr=aladdin 该词的意思是指一个人下定决心不去或去做一件事情，最后的行为却截然相反。主要用来表示某人预计的事情和最后的结果截然不同的一种心理状态。 http://www.eyeshenzhen.com/content/2018-12/12/content_21273916.htm 12 Meaning: “真” means “really,” and “香” means “tasting good.” Voted one of top popular catch phrases of the year by search engine Sogou, this term originated from a Mango TV reality show called “The Deformation,” which captured the reactions of different people when given a huge role change. In one episode, Wang Jingze, a boy from a rich family in a big city, was thrown into a rural village to live a few days. Wang said he would rather die than eat their local food at first, but at the end of his stay he claimed the food was so good that Chinese netizens came to use this term as a metaphor for one’s self-contradictory words or actions. Example: A: 王阿姨说要给你介绍个女朋友。 Wáng āyí shuō yào gěi nǐ jièshào ge nǚ péngyou。 Aunt Wang said she would set up a date for you. B: 我都不报希望，又漂亮又能干的女生哪里要等人介绍男朋友？ Wǒ dōu bú bào xīwàng，yòu piāoliàng yòu nénggàn de nǚshēng nǎlǐ yào děng rén jièshào nánpéngyou？ I don’t really count on her. If the girl is pretty and capable, she will not have to wait for someone else to set her up. A: 那可不一定，别到时候又说真香。 Nà kě bù yīdìng，bié dàoshíhòu yòu shuō zhēnxiāng。 You can’t be too certain. You may go against your words. https://pandaily.com/you-call-yourself-a-real-chinese-see-if-you-know-the-hottest-15-buzzwords-of-2018-in-china/ 4. So Delicious! (真香警告) 真香 can be roughly translated as “so delicious”, and 警告 just means “warning”. A term mocking hypocrites and people who break their promises easily. The term actually originated from a 2014 scene on X-change, a reality show airing on Hunan TV. The show arranges urbanites and rural participants to swap lives temporarily for a change. One pampered urbanite on the show, Wang Jingze, refused to eat meals served to him in the village, vowing, “I, Wang Jingze, would rather die than touch your food!” Then the next scene cuts to Wang digging heartily into his bowl, exclaiming, “Shit! So delicious!” as he gobbles up his food. The scene has since gone viral on the internet and quickly became a meme to roast those who fail to keep their words easily. “I, Wang Jingze, would rather die than touch your food!” Example: A: What’s this guys even famous for? He’s not even good looking. (5 minutes later) A: Oh shit, he’s so hot when he’s dancing! I love him. B: So delicious! (mockingly) |

<< review queue entry 65646 - submitted by 'becky82' >> Hi, my first attempt here: apologies if I'm doing anything wrong. We discussed 话不投机 on: https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/36706/does-the-chengyu-%e8%af%9d%e4%b8%8d%e6%8a%95%e6%9c%ba-hu%c3%a0-b%c3%b9-t%c3%b3u-j%c4%ab-mean-uncongenial-speech The first change (话不投机半句多): (a) I feel "get sour" is ungrammatical; it should be "go sour". (b) I add a figurative definition. The second change (话不投机): this is my best phrasing based on feedback at Chinese Stack Exchange. I also include "when words go sour" to match the longer phrase, but I don't feel it's precise ["when" implies the concept of time, which is not part of the chengyu]. ------------------------------ Editor: Hi Becky, and welcome! I see from your stackexchange profile (math genealogy link) that you did a PhD in maths at Monash University. It so happens that I also did a degree in pure maths at Monash! 1) I think it's tricky to find the best English wording for 话不投机半句多, and agree our current phrasing is perhaps not the best. 2) Regarding "fig. in an unagreeable conversation, half a sentence is too much" ... that's actually more of a *literal* definition rather than a figurative one. 3) "unagreeable" is not a word that is commonly used, compared to "disagreeable". "unagreeable" is not in any of the following dictionaries: Merriam-Webster Oxford Dictionaries Online American Heritage but "disagreeable" is in all of them. 4) 话不投机 isn't a noun phrase, so a noun phrase translation like "unenjoyable talk" isn't appropriate as a definition. It's more sentence-like: "the conversation is unenjoyable" or some such. 5) Here's an example of 话不投机 from a magazine, along with the magazine's English translation: 2006年，張錫透過一位香港朋友介紹，認識周星馳，這位朋友當時提醒張錫，私底下的周星馳話很少，若話不投機，不到3分鐘，他馬上轉頭走人；結果沒想到兩人一見如故，興趣相投，話匣子一開就是3小時。 In 2006 a Hong Kong friend of Chang’s introduced him to Chow. The friend warned Chang that the private Chow was taciturn by inclination and would leave within three minutes if he didn’t find the conversation to his liking. Yet finding that they shared the same interests, the two hit it off right away, chatting like old friends for three hours. |

Since my father was still alive at the time, our family was still fairly well-to-do, and I was something of a "young gentleman." (Lyell) When I first met him he was little more than ten — that was thirty years ago, and at that time my father was still alive and the family well off, so I was really a spoilt child. (Yangs) I can't have been much older than nine when I first met him - thirty years ago. Back then, my father had still been alive, the family finances tolerably healthy and I the spoilt young master of the house. (Lovell) 鲁迅《故乡》 过了几年，我的家景大不如前了，非谋点事做便要受饿，只得也回到中国来。 A few years later, my own family's fortunes sank. I had to either find work or go hungry, and so I was forced to go back to China too. (Lyell) A few years later, my family had become so badly off that unless I found a job I would have starved, so I had to go back to China too. (Yangs) Within a few years, though, the family fortunes had gone to the wall. If I didn't find myself a job, I was going to starve, so I came back. (Lovell) 鲁迅《头发的故事》 |

<< review queue entry 64756 - submitted by 'sl89' >> * "everyone pitching in"/"with everyone lending a hand" — this is right but is missing the disorderly sense; in translation this is often lost but it's part of the meaning of the expression. * The meaning of Wenlin's "too many cooks spoil the broth" is that whenever too many people are involved in a task the result is always bad, but that's not what 七手八脚 means. 七手八脚 is generally positive, it's about people being eager to help. 【Wenlin】 f[ixed].e[xpression]. ① everyone pitching in ② too many cooks spoil the broth 【Pleco】 IDIOM with everyone lending a hand | 大伙儿七手八脚把他抬了出来。 | Everybody lent a hand to carry him out. | 大家七手八脚一会儿就把院子打扫干净了。 | With everybody lending a hand, the courtyard was soon swept clean. 【LAC】 形容很多人一起动手动脚；动作杂乱无章。 | 大伙～把东西搬过来。 【MoE】 形容人多动作纷乱没条理。 | 《金瓶梅．第七回》：「七手八脚将妇人床帐、装奁、箱笼，搬的搬，抬的抬，一阵风都搬去了。」 | 《红楼梦．第七○回》：「这里小丫头们听见放风筝，巴不得一声儿，七手八脚，都忙着拿出个美人风筝来。」 【规范】 形容人多, 手脚忙乱 | 大家七手八脚把他送进了医院。 下半天，棺木才合上盖：因为单四嫂子哭一回，看一回，总不肯死心塌地的盖上；幸亏王九妈等得不耐烦，气愤愤的跑上前，一把拖开他，才七手八脚的盖上了。 The coffin was not finally closed until late in the day because Sister Shan, unable to bring herself to part forever with Bao'er, stuck close to the coffin, gazing at her precious son through her tears. Ninth Auntie Wang finally lost patience, and pulled her aside long enough for those standing around to rush in and close the lid. (Lyell) Not till that afternoon was the lid of the coffin put on, because Fourth Shan's Wife would keep crying, then taking a look, and could not bear to have the lid closed down. Luckily, Ninth Aunt Wang grew tired of waiting. hurried indignantly forward and pulled her aside.Then they hastily closed it up. (Yangs) Because Mrs Shan wouldn't stop crying and wanting to take one last look at her son, because she refused to give up hope, the lid didn't get nailed down until the afternoon. In the end, Mrs Wang mercifully lost patience with her and yanked her away, as a confusion of hands scrabbled to fasten the lid. (Lovell) 鲁迅《明天》 直到七手八脚的将她和男人反关在新房里，还是骂，阿呀呀，这真是……。” Clear up to the time when they got her ―and they had everybody fallin' over everybody else tryin' to do it ―got her and the groom into the bride-room and locked it from the outside, she kept cursin' for all she was worth. Aiya! That was really, really . . ." (Lyell) It took quite a few of them to shut her up finally with the man in the bridal chamber, but even then she went on cursing. Oh, it was really....” (Yangs) It took every pair of hands they could muster to get her locked in the bedroom - and you should have heard her curse, my goodness ...” (Lovell) 鲁迅《祝福》 社场上卸了骡子，二十来个社员七手八脚忙起来。 赵树理《三里湾》 |

You either have a right to speak or you don't. It's not something you try to "increase". Examples: 使它被許多有具話語權的人看中 it is given great status by persons positioned to speak authoritatively 可以讓藝術有一點話語權， They can see to it that art has a voice, 海外華測市場的競爭，事實上也是一場話語權的較勁。「考題牽涉文化內容與敘述方法，」陳郁仁表示，兩種測驗的題材內容自然會有差異。「對岸的漢語水平考試會談中國的題材，我們的TOCFL會放台灣的議題。」 Competition in the foreign market for Chinese language proficiency testing is really about linguistic dominance. “Test questions involve cultural content and narratives,” says Chen, explaining that the two tests’ content naturally differs. “Mainland China’s HSK uses mainland Chinese content.
