<< review queue entry 64921 - submitted by 'goldyn_chyld' >> “...家庭、學校是最理想推行環保觀念的重鎮” --------------------------------- Editor: 1) The usage in your example seems a bit unusual. Is it a natural Chinese sentence? The only place I can find it on the Web is on the following Japanese webpage, where it appears as a sentence in isolation, and is translated into (or from?) Japanese. http://stu-c.blog.jp/archives/4903418.html?.link_prev=1 Your example seems unusual in two ways: a) Typically, a 重鎮, in non-military usage, seems to be a specific geographical place rather than something like a (generic) household or school. b) Usually, that place is prominent for some specific activity. (See TP examples below.) In your example, the household (or school) is not so much *prominent* for some activity as it is *ideal* for some activity (namely, the implementation of environmental concepts). 2) A 重鎮 is a place, not a location. There's a subtle difference! e.g. 哥倫比亞大學是美國物理學的重鎮, They're saying that Columbia University is a *place* that is known for its excellence in physics. Columbia University is *in* a location, but it is not itself a location (in the sense of "location" implied by "key location", I mean.) 3) J (military usage) ~ By January 5 the Germans abandoned hope of taking this key town. 到1月5日,德军已放弃夺取这一重镇的希望。 (non-military) ~ Corinth [was] an important commercial city in Greece. 哥林多是希腊的一个商业重镇。 TP ~ 一八八九年,當時紐西蘭的經濟重鎮丹尼丁舉辦商展, In 1889, Chew Chong's Jubilee Brand butter won the Silver Cup at the South Seas Exhibition in Dunedin, then a major commercial center. 科學園區已成為世界級的半導體生產重鎮。 will make the park one of the world's major centers of semiconductor production. 克利夫蘭原是機械、鋼鐵重鎮, Cleveland was originally a center of machinery and steel. 作為南部的工業重鎮,高雄, As the heart of industry in southern Taiwan, Kaohsiung has long been ... 儼然成為台灣同志論述與運動的重鎮。 becoming a bastion of homosexual discourse and activism in Taiwan. 成為國內國際政治學研究重鎮。 [the institute has] become one of Taiwan's most important centers of research in international politics. 成為觀光發展重鎮。 develop into a major tourist destination 台北的百貨重鎮在東區, Eastern Taipei is the main bastion for department stores, 1990年代台灣取代日本成為布料的生產重鎮後, After Taiwan replaced Japan as the main center of cloth production in the 1990s, |
