<< review queue entry 62909 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I suggest replacing my own explanatory definition ("person who is outstanding in their field") with a few English equivalents. person who is outstanding in their field --> leading light; superstar; badass -------------------------- Also adding 牛人, which is a synonym. LA @ 牛人 ~ 網路語言。指非常厲害的人，通常在某一領域有較高的權威。 "牛人 ... refers to somebody who is very extraordinary or outstanding ... [a] formidable person." Understanding the Chinese Language: A Comprehensive Linguistic Introduction -------------------------- Here, for reference, are the links in my original sub: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%A4%A7%E7%89%9B/32365 http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=39840 ---------------------------- Some examples: A. 言归正传-牛校统计牛人小结 1。Stanford [...] 金融数学界的大牛Duffie也在统计系兼任，他也是无数人yy的对象。。 2。Berkeley [...] 人也极多，有Michael Jordan~~~~~~~~(叫这个名字的就是牛。。。） 3。 Chicago Chicago和前两个学校比就差一些了，但是也非常有特色。Lars P. Hansen (superstar in finance)，Steven Lalley: (superstar in Probability, previous editor for Annals of Probability），Gregory Lawler: (superstar in Probability, current editor for Annals of Probability），Peter McCullagh: (superstar, COPSS winner, editor of Bernoulli) 有这几个人在，Chicago就是任何人都无法忽视的选择 4。Harvard Harvard统计很精致，Professor就三个人，当然都是超级牛人~~~~~~~Jun.S.Liu用Bayes方法作生物信息非常厉害。Rubin的牛无法用言语来形容。。。 https://hercy2010.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/%E8%A8%80%E5%BD%92%E6%AD%A3%E4%BC%A0-%E7%89%9B%E6%A0%A1%E7%BB%9F%E8%AE%A1%E7%89%9B%E4%BA%BA%E5%B0%8F%E7%BB%93/ B. 牛 = usually “牛人” or “大牛”. Basically same meaning as 达人, i.e. true expert; real expert. http://wordyenglish.com/chinese/chinese_slangs.html C. IT牛人博客聚合 D. 牛 [slang] adj. having powerful skills and special strength：牛人 (a guy who is really something) ----------------------------------- 'badass' is ambiguous, of course, and that's why I put it in third position. It's also offensive to some, apparently. I use it in this positive sense ~ "a formidably impressive person" (from the Web) Wiktionary ~ A person considered impressive due to courage, skill, and/or toughness. superstar ~ "One that is extremely popular or prominent or that is a major attraction." |
