<< review queue entry 61441 - submitted by 'gugray' >> "four-eyes" does not do justice to the phrase's meaning, which is also made explicit in the MOE quote in the original submission. ------------------------------------ Editor: I have no problem with adding a note for clarification, given that "four-eyes" isn't included in some English dictionaries. Also, "four-eyes" can refer to the "four-eyed fish" (a fish of the genus Anableps), and 四眼+田鸡 sounds somewhat like that. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/four-eyes https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/four-eyes |
