Comment:	<< review queue entry 71030 - submitted by 'sykul' >> The definitions and examples I've found only talk about the physical force sense of 'impulse', but in English 'impulse' has additional meanings similar to 'urge', so perhaps it's best to disambiguate. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%A1%9D%E5%8A%9B#Chinese https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%86%B2%E5%8A%9B/9981457 https://cidian.qianp.com/ci/%E5%86%B2%E5%8A%9B http://www.ichacha.net/%E5%86%B2%E5%8A%9B.html https://context.reverso.net/translation/chinese-english/%E5%86%B2%E5%8A%9B https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%86%B2%E5%8A%9B/9981457 ------------------------------ Editor: You say you only found examples that "talk about the physical force sense of 'impulse'", yet your ichacha reference includes this: "Do you ever have any actual suicidal impulses?" 你有任何实际的自杀冲力吗？ Well, I think that's just a bad Chinese translation of something originally written in English. "(physics) impulse" is defined as "the product obtained by multiplying the average value of a force by the time during which it acts". [American Heritage Dictionary]. In Chinese, that's 冲量, not 冲力. https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E5%86%B2%E9%87%8F While 冲力 doesn't mean "impulse" in the sense of "sudden wish or urge", it is used figuratively, but the meaning is more like "momentum". Here are three examples of figurative usage of 衝力 (冲力): 我們的生活似乎在代替我們過日子，生活本身具有的奇異衝力，把我們帶得暈頭轉向；到最後，我們會感覺對生命一點選擇也沒有，絲毫無法作主。 "Our lives seem to live us, to possess their own bizarre momentum, to carry us away; in the end we feel we have no choice or control over them." 「如果聲音有表情，那麼黃妃肯定是嘴角上揚的微笑甘甜，隨時續勢待發的聲音衝力，詮釋台語歌曲有種意想不到的家鄉味，親切可人的地方語音又有嬌滴滴的靚女魅力。」這是樂評人對黃妃的聲音評價。《遠東經濟評論》在一項亞洲國家生活方式調查中，一針見血地點出現階段的問題：亞洲國家衝力十足的經濟成長，創造了新富階層，但也帶來問題。她們能否放慢引擎，休養療傷，找到長程與短程利益間的平衡點？

Comment:	<< review queue entry 71025 - submitted by 'sykul' >> Is there any other kind of equator? ------------------------------ Editor: I imagine your question is meant to be rhetorical, but in fact "equator" does have more than two senses. Here are some I found: 1. the earth's equator 2. the equator of a celestial body 3. the equator of the celestial sphere 4. (biology) the plane perpendicular to the spindle of a dividing cell and midway between the poles -- as in "During metaphase, the kinetochore microtubules pull the sister chromatids back and forth until they align along the equator of the cell." 5. the magnetic equator 6. the equator of a vegetable, as in "Lay the flat side from one half down on the cutting board and cut through the equator of the onion." 7. (geometry) a great circle So which of these senses does 赤道 have? #1 is in any Chinese dictionary. I have verified #2 – for example, it's in the Chinese Wikipedia article on Mars. #3 is in some Chinese dictionaries. #4 seems unlikely since it's a plane whereas 道 implies "line". Summing up: We could make the definition shorter and just say "equator", as you suggest. It's nice to be succinct. But since I've gone to the trouble of verifying #2, and it's a sense that's not in other dictionaries, I think we can mention it explicitly, just as other Chinese dictionaries do specifically mention sense #3.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 71010 - submitted by 'sykul' >> https://context.reverso.net/translation/chinese-english/%E5%93%80%E5%A9%89 -------------------------------- Editor: Most or all of those Reverso examples are either - irrelevant to this submission (e.g. because 哀婉 is not used as a noun) or - translated into Chinese from text originally written in English (translations are often unreliable) There are 22 sentences on that Reverso page: #1 is an example of 哀婉动人, not 哀婉. #2 ditto. In #3, #4 and #5, 哀婉 is an adjective, not a noun. Also, #5 is from a Chinese translation of a D. H. Lawrence novel: https://genius.com/D-h-lawrence-the-rainbow-chap-6-annotated (In #5, "poignant" is rendered as 辛辣, which makes me wonder about the translator's qualifications.) ... and so on. My dictionaries indicate that 哀婉 a) is an adjective b) describes something that is both melancholy and graceful (it's often used to describe a melody or a voice). This suggests to me that 哀婉 probably does not mean "pathos", which is "a quality that evokes pity or compassion". That's because a) "pathos" is not an adjective, and b) 哀婉 implies gracefulness (according to dictionaries), whereas "pathos" does not. Generally speaking, if you have a Chinese word that you think means X, but you can't find it defined as X in any dictionary, then you probably need to provide plenty of evidence, not just a link to a Reverso Context page. Where did you get the notion that 哀婉 means "pathos"? Did you see it used that way somewhere? Why not include that usage in your submission? (as long as it wasn't a translation from English)

The results of its history in Taiwan can be seen in microcosm in the space of the city. 蔡玫芬說，這兩件藏品是雍正皇帝以降清朝皇室的儀式性器物，用於皇帝過年開筆的儀式，由皇子或皇孫持拿，象徵道統延續、國祚長存。 According to Tsai Mei-fen, chief curator in the NPM’s Department of Antiquities, these two works were ceremonial objects in use at the Qing court beginning with the rule of Yongzheng (reigned 1723–45). They were used during the ceremony in which the emperor would write some lines to mark the Lunar New Year. A son or grandson of the emperor would hold them, conveying the idea of an orderly succession and national permanence. 兩漢國祚共四百多年（BC206—AD220），同時期西方羅馬逐漸從共和走上帝國（BC18—AD476），巧的是，除了同樣是疆界遼闊的大國，漢代人口有五千多萬，與羅馬帝國人口不相上下。 At the beginning of the first millennium in the Western calendar, China was in the midst of the 400-year-long Han dynasty (206 BC to 220 AD), while in the West Rome was making the transition from a republic to an empire that would last until 476 AD. Coincidentally, the two empires had roughly the same population, about 50 million people.

That's irrelevant to us since we're a C-E dictionary, not E-C. (We can consider defining "军事准则" in English, but not "military doctrine" in Chinese.) 2) The first sentence of the Wikipedia article is the same as the Baike article. The edit histories of the two articles suggests that the Baike article was copied (plagiarized) from Wikipedia. So you have only provided one source. 3) The Wikipedia article says 战斗教义 is another way "military doctrine" is translated, but there are very few Google results for that term. So I'm starting to have some doubts about the author of the Wikipedia article. 4) The Chinese Wikipedia category page for the category "Military Doctrine" is titled 分类:军事学说 (not 军事准则). https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/Category:军事学说 5) 军事学说 has far more Google results than 军事准则 (more than 10x as many). 6) You haven't provided any examples of usage. Did you actually see 军事准则 used, or are you simply submitting the title of the Chinese Wikipedia article on the basis that it is linked to the one titled "Military Doctrine"? (If so, that's not enough evidence.)

Well, 命題 means "proposition", so you'd think that a 偽命題 would also have to take the form of a proposition. But a proposition is an assertion, not a question. And indeed some of your references say that a 伪命题 can only be a proposition (命题), not a question (问题). E.g. “伪命题”首先应当是个“命题”——或者说起码在形式上近似一个“命题”。很多时候人们滥用“伪命题”一词，其实是想说“伪问题”“伪概念”“伪课题”。 [from the first zhihu reference] Evidently, actual usage clashes with what prescriptivists would accept. One other thing: "incorrect question" is ambiguous. It can refer to a grammatically incorrect question, or it may be a question that a quizmaster mistakenly asks when he reads the wrong card, and so on. Examples of usage: 今天文學界習慣以西方文類概念來整合中國文學，因此出現西方文類概念無法解釋的問題。例如過去受西方衝擊，從章太炎、蘇曼殊、胡適、聞一多、林庚一路問下來：中國的史詩在哪裡？有人由《詩經》找片段，組合起來，認為是中國的史詩。但我認為，那可能是在尋找本來就不存在的東西。追問古代中國為何沒有規模宏大的史詩，在我看來，是偽命題。需要追問的，應該是：為何中國人不要史詩，反而從杜甫到黃遵憲，把敘事給詩情化，因而有源源不絕的詩史？ Today people in the literary world are in the habit of interpreting Chinese literature according to Western categories of literary form, and hence we have the problem that Chinese literature doesn't fit into those categories. For instance, in the past, under Western influence, people from Zhang Taiyan and Su Manshu to Hu Shih, Wen Yiduo and Lin Geng have asked: Where is Chinese epic poetry? Someone has assembled sections from the Book of Songs and called them Chinese epic poetry. But I believe this may be a search for something which never existed. Asking why China has no epic poetry is a meaningless question. I would say the question we ought to ask is this: If the Chinese had no epic poetry, why is it that from Du Fu to Huang Zunxian they poeticized narrative, thereby creating an endless supply of epic poetry? 事实上，关于普京是否回归的问题就是伪命题，因为他从没真正撒手俄罗斯的权利，只是换了一个头衔而已。 In fact, the question of Mr Putin's return is artificial, for he has never really left power in Russia, but simply switched job title. 所谓中国将成为美国主要对手甚至取代美国的臆测是一个伪命题。 The so-called speculation that China will be the main rival of, or even replace the US, is a false proposition. 这是一道伪命题 I mean this is crazy. 新商机or伪命题：定制精装会成为家居业新拐点吗？莱因哈特-罗格夫事件让我们看到，紧缩政策在多大程度上是基于一个伪命题来推行的。 What the Reinhart-Rogoff affair shows is the extent to which austerity has been sold on false pretenses. 但如果问题本身就是伪命题，那么答案就可想而知了。 But there are no right answers to wrong questions. 巴拉克·奥巴马称政府必须在降低赤字与投资刺激就业之间做出选择是一个"伪命题"。 Barack Obama said that opting either to reduce America's deficit or invest in job creation was a "false choice". 个别域外势力不断地通过各种方式、包括炒作所谓航行自由与安全受到影响的伪命题来搅动南海局势，地区国家对此保持着应有的高度警惕。一旦证明猜想是伪命题，那将使人们对现代数学的许多部分产生质疑 Proving the conjecture false would have cast doubt on much of modern mathematics 首先要指出一点，选择容器还是VM这本身就是一个伪命题，你完全可以同时使用这两种技术。 The first point to make is that containers vs VMs is a false dichotomy; there's no reason you can't use both.

That phrase describes what one thing does over time, whereas 此消彼长 refers to what two things do at the same time. Usage ~ 薛承泰甚至提出預警，如果兩岸經濟此消彼長的情況再延續下去，未來十年二十年，大陸男人來台灣包二奶的現象也不是不可能發生的！ Hsueh warns that if the current trend toward economic decline in Taiwan and economic boom in the PRC continues indefinitely, it's not inconceivable that men from mainland China could be taking mistresses in Taiwan ten or 20 years from now. 但是近十年來，中國留美學生大幅快速成長，2005年已達6萬2千人，中國龐大的留學軍團，在世界各地形成不可忽視的海外勢力，成為大陸經濟發展的後盾。相反的，台灣的留學生人才庫卻是逐漸衰微，2005年，台灣的留美人數只有2萬5千人，比十年前減少了一萬多人。兩岸留學生此消彼長的效應已持續發酵，美國主要大學以及重要的工業、產業、尖端研究機構都可能被對岸留學生盤據，台灣的國際資源，如同乾旱的水庫一樣，到了拉警報的水位警戒線。 The number of Chinese studying in the US has continued to grow rapidly over the last decade and reached 62,000 in 2005. China's huge contingent of students in other nations have become a force to be reckoned with, one of the drivers supporting the mainland's economic development. In contrast, the number of Taiwanese studying abroad has been shrinking. In 2005, there were only 25,000 Taiwanese attending school in the US, a decrease of more than 10,000 over ten years. These numbers are allowing the mainland to establish beachheads at major US universities, corporations and research institutions, while Taiwan's reservoir of international resources is drying up. 1990年初期，趁大陸毛豆加工業還沒站穩腳步，台灣的出口榮景一度迴光返照，1991年站上史上第二高點4萬1,000公噸。之後抵不過大陸低價競爭，日本訂單年年流失，1995年的銷日量跌到3萬公噸以下（2萬7,000公噸）。兩岸冷凍毛豆在日本市場廝殺，雖然戰況此消彼長，但誰都無法一拳打死對方。然而，1996年，戰局首度出現死亡交叉，台豆外銷只有2萬5,000公噸。三十多年來，被日本視為毛豆第一出口國的台灣，從沒想過江山也有易手的時刻。 But even in the early 1990s, because the mainland’s processing industry had not yet gotten its feet on the ground, Taiwan still took top honors, and in fact exports hit their second highest figure ever in 1991, at 41,000 tons. But it was all downhill after that, as Japanese orders began to shift over to mainland China, and by 1995 exports to Japan had fallen to 27,000 tons. In 1996, the struggle seemed to reach a turning point when mainland exports surpassed those of Taiwan, which fell to only 25,000 tons. It had been taken for granted for 30 years in Japan that Taiwan was its number-one source of edamame, and no one expected that the day would come when the title would change hands. 隨著產業轉型，技職教育不斷「向上提升」，如今已發展成高職（156所）、專科（15所）、技術學院與科大（77所），一貫的完整體系。技職生和一般生的人數比，幾度此消彼長後，目前大致是分庭抗禮，各占半數的局面。 TVE has been evolving in tandem with economic transition, and today Taiwan has a fully developed TVE system comprising 156 vocational high schools, 15 junior colleges, and 77 tech colleges. The ratio of TVE versus general senior high school enrollment now stands at roughly 1:1. 台灣電影在歐洲影展大放光芒，但自1995年起，就出現後繼無力的現象，反映在金馬獎上的是，連續5年台灣電影都和最佳劇情片無緣，發行與票房也明顯走下坡。此消彼長，香港和大陸電影如《甜蜜蜜》、《天浴》、《千言萬語》等片趁虛而入，打破過去台、港電影平分秋色的態勢，開始以壓倒性優勢橫掃各大獎項，金馬獎成了許多香港導演與演員「黃袍加身」的管道。對他們而言，金馬獎不僅是重大的肯定與榮耀，知名度與聲望也從此不同。 After garnering attention and awards at European film festivals for several years, Taiwanese films went into a slump in 1995. The malaise was evident at the Golden Horses as well, where Taiwanese films went five years without a best picture prize. The number of releases, and their box-office receipts, also declined. Films from Hong Kong and mainland China surged into the void. They began to dominate the major awards categories, where Taiwanese movies had once been able to hold their own. The Golden Horses of this period catapulted a number of Hong Kong actors and directors to the top of the industry, providing them with not just honor, but also greater fame and prestige. 由恐龍、大象到人類，此消彼長， From dinosaurs to elephants to people, animals have disappeared and animals have arisen. 我们不要把这些事看做此消彼长的竞争 We tend not to view these things as zero-sum games. 或者说，用于电视和电子游戏的时间与学习时间之间有没有此消彼长的关系？ Is there a trade-off between the time spent on studying and that on TV or video games? 我们仍然坚信，有效反恐及促进和保护人权这两个目标是相辅相成的，而不是此消彼长。 We remain convinced that effective counter-terrorism and the promotion and protection of human rights are mutually reinforcing, not competing, goals.

As the Baike article says, it's one of two kinds of evil distinguished by Arendt: 汉娜·阿伦特认为罪恶分为两种，一种是极权主义统治者本身的“极端之恶”，第二种是被统治者或参与者的“平庸之恶”。 "The banality of evil" corresponds to “恶的平庸性”, as in the following quote, rather than to 平庸之恶. 她通过“恶的平庸性”来揭示丧失思考能力所犯下的极端罪恶，这是一种没有残暴动机的残暴罪行。 Web snippets: 1) "Banal evil is can only be understood by contrast with radical evil, because radical evil was the predominant concept when Hannah Arendt wrote about the banality of evil. Radical evil means that one has decided to do evil, that in their heart they are set upon doing something that they know is wrong, and prior to Arendt philosophers believed that all evil acts were of this sort. Banal evil is characterized by a belief that what one is doing is not evil, rather, what they are engaging in is a behavior that is, or has been, normalized by the society in which they reside." 2) "Banal Evil is characterized by a belief that what one is doing is not evil, rather, what they are engaging in is a behavior that is, or has been, normalized by the society in which they reside."

Comment:	<< review queue entry 70283 - submitted by 'sykul' >> Bit of an abstract one https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%9F%BA%E6%9C%AC%E7%9B%98 https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E5%9F%BA%E6%9C%AC%E7%9B%A4 https://www.jianshu.com/p/6b566c10ac30 https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/1931191002006520067.html https://new.qq.com/omn/20220401/20220401A0DAPK00.html ------------------------------- Editor: I get the impression the word may have originated in Taiwan around 2000. It's labeled as Tw in two dictionaries and the earliest usage I found was 2002. But it seems common on the mainland now. I may edit my wording later, but I'll process it like this for now. 「劇情寫實，但時空卻可以虛構，這就是戲劇的魅力，」柴智屏說，所以他們保留漫畫中主角們充滿異國情調的日本姓名，以漫畫迷為基本盤，並突顯唯美的拍攝風格。 "The story has to be believable, but you can take liberties with the setting. That's the appeal of TV drama," maintains Chai. With this in mind, she didn't bother to convert the Japanese names that the main characters had in the original comic, which provided an exotic tinge. The comic book feel was also preserved in the show's lighthearted style. 資料庫越大，媒合率就越高。慈濟幾萬名志工在證嚴法師的呼籲下，成為骨髓捐贈中心的「基本盤」，但台灣民間對於「龍骨水」不能隨意抽取的觀念，卻讓骨髓勸捐活動初期產生困難。 The larger the database, the higher the rate of finding a match. Encouraged by the Venerable Cheng Yen, founder of Tzu Chi, the tens of thousands of Tzu Chi volunteers became the core of the donor registry. But because it is popularly believed in Taiwan that one should not extract the so-called "dragon bone water" from the body, early on there was considerable resistance to the idea of bone marrow donation. 民進黨中央黨部檢討敗選原因後表示，將一切反求諸己。副秘書長李應元認為，民進黨在先天環境與準備不足下，能維護基本盤已屬難得，應不至於影響明年大選。 Having investigated and debated the reasons for the election defeat, the DPP's Central Committee declared that it would take a long, hard look at its electoral approach. DPP Deputy Secretary-General Lee Ying-yuan concludes that given poor conditions and preparation, even maintaining the party's traditional base of support was difficult, but he thinks that the outcome of this county election should not influence next year's presidential election. 二○○四年十一月間，楊順清赴嘉義中正大學放映《台北二一》，當天八、九百個座位坐滿了八成，還有一百多名學生拿著VCD來簽名，讓他信心又增強一些，未來作品只要行銷宣傳做得不錯，或者片中有一位閃亮明星，應該就有支持他的「基本盤」。 2006年當唱片公司終於願意為她這個「新人」發片時，在預購階段竟然就衝出6000張訂單，顯見張懸這些年來隻身打拚，所建立起的基本盤有多驚人。 When a record company finally agreed to release an album by this "newcomer" in 2006, 6000 copies were ordered even before the official release, showing that Zhang's individual efforts over the years have built her an astonishing base of supporters. 另一方面，他們也針對台北市各級學校，連發了56萬張100元的優惠券，只要其中3%到5%果真來看電影，即可透過口碑行銷開出基本盤，再吸引各個不同階層的大學生或家長來看，建立後續票房。 Lin Yu-hsien also sent 560,000 coupons for NT$100 to schools at all levels in Taipei. Even if only 3% to 5% actually went to see the film, it could still produce the desired result: once word-of-mouth publicity began, they would also bring in families and college students for even more ticket sales. 相較之下，近3年來台北市平均預售屋單價漲幅超過50%，越發顯得漲勢與「基本盤」似已脫鉤， In comparison, the average advance sale price for a home being built in Taipei City has risen 50% over the last three years, so that real-estate prices seem increasingly decoupled from basic economic realities. 發行《五月天3DNA》的片商、得藝國際媒體製作部總監陳鴻元分析，演唱會是發展3D電影初期極佳的試金石，因為熱門歌手或樂團都有固定「基本盤」的死忠歌迷，片商無需擔心砸了大錢卻血本無歸。 Wolf Chen is head of production at Double Edge Entertainment, the firm that will be releasing Mayday 3DNA. In his view, concerts are a perfect trial balloon for the early-stage development of 3D movies because popular singers or bands come with a solid base of diehard fans, which means that the moviemakers need not worry that they won't recoup the big bucks it takes to make such a film. 社區照顧是老人福利的「基本盤」，不可或缺， She explains that caring for the elderly is a basic social responsibility, something we can't do without. 《練習曲》、《盛夏光年》、《刺青》都開出1,000萬元基本盤以上的票房，《刺青》甚至衝到5,000萬元。 Movies like Island Etude, Eternal Summer, and Spider Lilies all cleared NT$10 million, the sum generally considered to be the threshold of success, with Spider Lilies doing considerably better at NT$50 million. 台灣電影可以「很好看」，而且賣錢，把基本盤的魔咒甩得遠遠的。 The days of setting the bar excruciatingly low-of "playing not to win, but only not to lose"-appear to be banished to the past. It now seems totally feasible to make a movie that is both enjoyable and lucrative. 從各縣市的戰果來看，馬吳在台北與新北市大贏53萬票，桃竹苗地區狂勝四十多萬票，鞏固傳統北台灣的藍營票倉，奠定了勝選的基礎；而在早先藍綠陣營都喊出的「決戰中台灣」部分，兩大黨在中彰投的整體票數並沒有太大變化，馬吳在大台中贏了對手11萬票，但比起2008年馬蕭在大台中贏了28萬票，此次藍軍只能說是小贏，守住基本盤。 Breaking down the vote by city and county, the Ma-Wu ticket won Taipei City and New Taipei City by a combined 530,000 votes and the northern-central region (Taoyuan County, Hsinchu City, Hsinchu County, Miaoli County) by more than 400,000, showing that the KMT’s traditional base of support remained strong. This was the foundation on which the KMT built its victory. 總體而言，我國農業基本盤受貿易自由化、開放進口的影響不大，顯見政府固盤的措施奏效。 The fact that the agricultural industry as a whole has been little impacted by the liberalization of imports and trade strongly suggests that government measures aimed at stabilizing it have been successful. 「我們旗下網站的會員數超過300萬人，基本盤的消費者已經存在。」 “We basically already had a potential customer base in the form of the 3-million-plus members of our websites.” 1月下旬，劇團把319巡演的發起人全部找齊，宣布新計畫；靠著之前累積的募款基本盤，兩個月來已走過宜蘭員山、屏東恆春、嘉義義竹、新北蘆洲、嘉義竹崎，以及台中大肚、后里和龍井等鄉鎮。 In late January, the troupe brought together all the performers involved in the 319 tour and announced that it would be launching the new 368 Children’s Art Project tour. Using funds raised from regular donors, over the past two months the troupe has put on performances in 10 townships, including Yilan’s Yuanshan and Pingtung’s Hengchun. 两桶油的近期交割波动为12月29日以来最大的降幅。美国原油基本盘较弱，使得布伦特原油的溢价超过4.7美元一桶。 The spread between the two crude oils was its largest since Dec. 29, with Brent fetching a premium of more than $4.70 a barrel due to the weaker fundamentals in U.S. crude.

Comment:	<< review queue entry 70752 - submitted by 'sykul' >> If the variant is in the dictionary, surely the original should be too? ------------------------------------- Editor: 辱華，本意指「令人認為其冒犯、侮辱、抹黑、歧視華人、中華民族或中國人的語言、行為和政治立場」。近年來逐漸成爲流行語。[...] 隨著「辱華」一詞的濫用以及部分中國大陸網民對涉華爭議事件的態度和反應日益激進，「被指控『辱華』」也被另一部分持對立觀點的網民解構，把這個詞彙當作「玻璃心」等詞使用，用於表達對前者濫用「辱華」一詞的諷刺、幽默、嘲笑或歧視，有時也用於表示對被指「辱華」的事物的實質贊同而抒發對一些涉華事物的不滿。在解構的過程中，「辱華」一詞出現了「乳華」、「乳化」、「乳滑」乃至「乳了」等變體[17]。同時，隨著詞彙與網路迷因的流行，其「辱」在特定語境中的負面意義被部分消解，與辱華同樣地被解構，變成提到某些群體的特徵就算是辱，故出現與「辱法」（主要是調侃二戰時法軍的表現令人失望[25]）、「辱美」、「辱英」、「辱德」、「辱波」、「辱宋」等網絡詞彙合流的現象。 https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/辱華
