<< review queue entry 65709 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) the usual trad form is 閒聊 "閒聊" - 35.7 million "閑聊" - 0.4 million The same is true of other words containing 闲 -- the trad form is usually 閒. So I propose to redefine 閑 as a variant of 閒, rather than the other way around: - 閑 闲 [xian2] /to stay idle/to be unoccupied/not busy/leisure/enclosure/ + 閑 闲 [xian2] /enclosure/(variant of 閒|闲[xian2]) idle/unoccupied/leisure/ - 閒 闲 [xian2] /variant of 閑|闲, idle/unoccupied/leisure/free time/ + 閒 闲 [xian2] /idle/unoccupied/leisure/ 2) 閒聊 doesn't have the pejorative connotation that "idle gossip" has. See below for examples, where it can be seen that there is no particular sense that it's *gossip* ("conversation about other people's private lives that might be unkind, disapproving, or not true") 一度，我在同學聚會中也插不上話，因為大家閑聊的話題不是多媒體軟體又出到第幾個版本了，就是公司股票又分了多少張之類的，」楊涵雲回憶。 One time during a similar gathering, I couldn't add anything to the conversation, because it circled around things like the latest version of some multimedia software and how many stocks they were issued by their company," 每每在吃飯或隨性的閒聊中聽到許多精采絕倫的故事， Liu thus had opportunities to meet leading personalities, who told countless intriguing stories over the dinner table or in idle chit-chat. 在村中的十字路口邊蓋上一座茅埔亭，路過的卡車司機也停車一同來閒聊。 At this thatched pavilion built at a village crossroads, passing truck drivers stop to rest and chat. 與館員閒聊間，阿波得知遼寧省博物館還有更珍貴的乾隆寶刀，大喜過望，便決定專程造訪。後來，果然在遼寧省博物館見到了這把寶刀。 Chatting with the palace staff, Ah-Po learned that in the Liaoning Provincial Museum there was a more precious sword of the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty. He decided to make a special trip to see it. 在宿舍一角，吳美儀（左）、蔡惠婉（中）、陳瑞蓮（右）趁練習的空檔泡茶閒聊，同是中華舉重女子代表隊員的她們朝夕相處，幾乎比家人還親。 In a corner of the dorm, Wu Mei-yi (left), Tsai Hui-wan (center), and Chen Jui-lien (right) take advantage of a break in training to make some tea and chat. All members of the national women's team, they spend all day, every day together, making them closer than even family. 民國五十六年，中研院人類學教授衛惠林請鄧相揚帶他到部落訪問，他隨著衛惠林挨家挨戶找老人家訪談，因而學到不少田野調查技巧，之後，鄧相揚只要一有空就往部落跑，找老人家閒聊。 In 1967 Wei Huei-lin, an anthropology professor at Academia Sinica, asked Teng to take him to interview aborigines. Teng picked up a lot of valuable fieldwork techniques by watching Professor Wei interview the old folks. Thereafter, whenever he had any spare time he would go visit the aborigines and chat with the old folks. 無心插柳的閒聊，卻能引起如此大的迴響，「大哥」醬油廣受肯定的程度可見一斑。 That such innocuous conversation could evoke a response like this is testament to the popularity of this "gangster" soy sauce. |
