<< review queue entry 62449 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> ABC mentions it explicitly for this word. Looking at my corpus, roughly half the uses of 了断 are about suicide (usually clear from 自己/自我): 但我不会等着让他杀死，我将自我了断，我要画出一幅登峰造极的杰作，用我的生命。 我喜欢我现在就是这样，随它去糟看能糟到什么地步，最好糟到我有感觉，有力气可以了断自己。 与其让他们屠杀，不如我自己了断。 为了不落敌人的手中，毛准备自己了断。 ---------------------------------------------- Editor: This issue was discussed when the entry was written ~ https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?handler=ListChanges&listchanges_searchterm=%E4%BA%86%E6%96%AD&listchanges_matchwholewordonly=1&listchanges_searchuserid=&listchanges_searchuseridmatchtype=2 And I agree that 了断 itself doesn't mean "commit suicide" -- it needs to combine with another word such as 自己 or 自我 to mean that. Note that we have an entry 自行了断 [zi4 xing2 liao3 duan4] /to take one's life/ ABC may mention suicide but other dicts don't. However, I think we can deal with it in the entry for 了断 by including this gloss: "to do away with (oneself)". https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/do-away-with |
