<< review queue entry 65745 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> adapted from PLC ------------------------------------ Editor: goa1 --> gao1 far --> far away TP 第二，華人社會本來一副天高皇帝遠的心態，現在則突然覺得要團結了。 Secondly, people in the Chinese community, who formerly saw politics as something far removed and irrelevant to their lives, now suddenly feel the need to stick together. 然而天高皇帝遠，官印曆書經常無法及時送到偏遠的閩、粵等地， However, it was often impossible for more distant locales, like Fujian and Guangdong, to receive the official almanac in a timely fashion. 我們這裡是化外之地，標準的天高皇帝遠。 They're totally outside the loop here. You of course know the phrase, 'Heaven is high and the emperor is far away.' Well, it was people like my grandmother who coined it. 雲林海口一帶天高皇帝遠，民主的洗禮還很膚淺。 local politics in the haikou area are linked only tenuously to what goes on in distant Taipei, and the concept of democracy hasn't made much headway here. 或許因為天高皇帝遠，泰國政府監管不到， Due to its remote location, schools in this region have been subject to less governmental control. |
