<< review queue entry 61079 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> (def taken from Pleco) -------------------------------------------- Editor: 1) change one's tune 醫生都說是女孩，臨產前又改口說是男孩， the doctor always said the child was a girl; but after a scan shortly before she gave birth he changed his mind and said it was a boy. 結果這次靈姑看了她的生辰竟改口斷言，「沒有，妳這一生沒有姻緣， On looking at her birth date and time, the medium changed her tune, this time averring, "No, you aren't fated to marry in this life. - 随又觉得话太说的残酷了，又改口安慰地说 - 不管怎样，我就是这样说了，而且也不会改口。 2) change the way one addresses sb - 苏小姐忽然改口，不叫“方先生”而叫“鸿渐” - 「叫慣了伯母，改口叫媽媽，還真不習慣」 - "married in US, wedding in China - LG's parents give me Jewerry and Gai Kou Fei (call them baba mama)" |
