<< review queue entry 62500 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> "quartier de lune" GRAND RICCI ----------------------------- Editor: "quartier de la lune" means "quarter moon", the dictionary says: https://www.linternaute.fr/dictionnaire/fr/definition/quartier-de-la-lune/ But that's ambiguous apparently: quarter moon 1. The moon as it appears with a quarter of its face illuminated, a crescent moon. 2. A time when the moon is at its first or last quarter; the moon as it appears at such a time (with half its face illuminated). https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/quarter_moon But in any case, I have not been able to corroborate Grand Ricci's definition. On the contrary, everything I find suggests that 月缺 means "new moon". 新月、月缺，指月亮無光之月相，一種天文現象。 https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%B0%E6%9C%88 不要伤感。月缺以后会有满月。 朔日是在阴历三十、初一、初二，月缺无光， 月圓月缺一個循環約需多少天啊?? |
