<< review queue entry 65559 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1. "unevenly matched"? -- No, it's not about matching. 2. In every example in TP (see some of them below) 參差不齊 relates to quality or standards -- "jagged" and "scraggly" are not very apt glosses for that. TP 這些職業或非職業的團體或個人，表演水準參差不齊， The quality of the performances put on by all these professional and amateur groups and individuals ranges from the appalling to the excellent, 演出水準參差不齊， the standard of performance varied, 只是檢驗者的水準也參差不齊， the standard of the monitors is pretty low, too. 是因為學生之間的水平參差不齊， he realized that the problem was that his students were of very different levels. 坊間整骨師素質參差不齊， The many bone manipulators who offer their services in Taiwan are of very variable levels of skill. |
