<< review queue entry 62954 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> The first two glosses relate to a sense that is well documented in dicts. The last three are less well documented. Here is what I have found: 1) WIKTIONARY 1. (derogatory) arrogance; bluster 2. (archaic, of a person) momentum; imposing manner; force; energy https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%B0%A3%E7%84%B0#Chinese But it isn't archaic, despite what that definition says, and despite the "ancien" (archaic) label in GR's entry. Here are some non-archaic examples where the meaning doesn't appear to be "arrogance". 2) USAGE TP ~ 「看不出來啊，像雪華這樣的女孩也會選擇婚姻。不過女孩子總是會變，結了婚柴米油鹽醬醋茶，婚前的氣焰會磨掉的啦。」吳老師說。 At one table, a guest-a teacher named Wu-says: "You'd never expect that a woman like Hsueh-hua would choose marriage. But she may change. After marriage comes taking care of all the routine daily tasks, and the pre-marriage atmosphere is worn away." TP ~ 隨著時間一點一滴的累積，孩子開始有了轉變，社區幫派氣焰收斂了，打架、吸毒問題也少了。 When the children started to make a turn for the better, gangs in the community disappeared, and problems with fighting and drugs decreased. J ~ When he finally simmered down and got in a receptive mood, I said quietly: 'I want to thank vou for coming to Chicago to tell me about this. 最后，他这股气焰似乎已慢慢息下去了，我安祥的说，我感激你特地来支加哥，告诉我这件事。 J ~ we are forced to add that he was glacial towards Napoleon in his decline. 我们就必须补充说明他对那位气焰渐衰的拿破仑，可以说是冷若冰霜的。 Web ~ 一时间，反华的气焰甚嚣尘上。 J ~ President Bush says opposition demands to pull U. S. troops out of Iraq by October would embolden the enemy. 布什总统称反对党要求美军10月前从伊拉克撤军将会助长敌人的气焰. ChinesePod ~ 我们的婚姻法已经那么坑爹了，不给点舆论压力，岂不是更助长了出轨男人的气焰？ Our marriage law is already such a joke, so if there is no pressure from public opinion, wouldn't that just be more wind in the sails of cheating men? ----------------------------------- 3) GRAND RICCI Part of GR's definition is "(anc.) flamme qui anime un homme; force de la personalité; (fig.) feu" GT translates this as "the flame that animates a man; strength of the personality; (fig.) fire" ------------------------------- 4) LA's definition starts with 火勢。 |
