<< review queue entry 64627 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "change rapidly" seems to be a be a misconception of a Chinese definition. What's "rapid" is the appearing and disappearing (出沒), not the actual nature of the (grammatical) subject. LA 形容用兵奇妙，出沒神速； M 形容行動快速，變化莫測。 So, for example, enemy troops appear out of nowhere and then disappear, but the soldiers don't "change rapidly" (or slowly, for that matter). |
