<< review queue entry 65541 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >> i've heard this used in various parts of speech including 她的报复, 他很报复 Otherwise there is nothing on a search for vindictive* ------------------------------- Editor: 1) I don't think 報復 can mean "vindictiveness". 她的报复 could mean "her revenge", and we have "revenge" in the definition already. 报复心 means "vindictiveness" or "vengeful nature" – but I don't think 报复 does. 2) I doubt that 報復 can mean "vindictive". "他很报复" does not appear on any webpage according to the Baidu search engine, and Google has only 7 results for that phrase. 3) 报复性 retaliatory e.g. 国会中的许多议员仍然希望美国采取主动权,对中国实施报复性关税。 ("Many in Congress still want the administration to take matters into its own hands and impose retaliatory tariffs.") |
