<< review queue entry 59352 - submitted by 'ghast' >> According to most references, this term (譏誚) is a verb, not an adjective. from 國語辭典: 以譏諷的話責問他人。(https://www.moedict.tw/%E8%AD%8F%E8%AA%9A) from 百度百科 : 冷言冷语地讥讽 . (http://baike.baidu.com/item/%E8%AE%A5%E8%AF%AE/5600104?fr=aladdin) from Pocket Oxford Chinese Dictionary: <lit> sneer at; make gibes about; speak ironically about. I don't know how this term became "cynical" ... I am not sure what the best definition would be, so I'm just copying the first two from the Oxford reference above, but all I want is for the definition to be corrected to something more appropriate, please correct as you see fit. |
