<< review queue entry 65744 - submitted by 'sl89' >> Hāi is an interjection, not an onomatopoeia for the sound of sighing. 【Wenlin】 intj. (of sorrow/surprise/etc.) | 咳, 我真糊涂。 | Damn, how stupid I was. 【Pleco】 [expressing sadness, regret or surprise] | 咳, 我怎么这么糊涂！ | Damn it! How stupid I was! | 咳, 真有这种怪事儿！ | What! That’s really strange! 【LAC】 叹词。表示懊悔、哀伤或讶异。 | ～声叹气 | ～！真让人料想不到！ 【MoE】 歎 表示後悔、感傷的語氣。如：「咳！我怎麼忘了！」 | 明．汪錂《春蕪記．第五齣》：「咳！不意今日出來，惹了一場風月債。」 咳，博物馆关门了。 Oh, the museum is closed. “你们可看见过杀头么？”阿Ｑ说，“咳，好看。杀革命党。唉，好看好看，……” "Have you ever seen a decapitation?" Ah Q asked. "Wow! Is that ever somethin' to see! Killin' the revolutionaries—yup, that's a real sight!" (Lyell) “Have you seen an execution?” asked Ah Q. “Ah, that's a fine sight. . . . When they execute the revolutionaries. Ah, that's a fine sight, a fine sight.. . .” (Yangs) 'Ever seen an execution?' asked Ah-Q. ' Now, that's a sight. They're always executing revolutionaries. Oh, it's a sight, a sight…' (Lovell) 鲁迅《阿Q正传》 ------------------------------------ Editor: There's some evidence for "sound of sighing" 1) ABC has 咳聲嘆氣 sigh and moan 2) Grand Ricci has an entry 咳 hāi (or hài) onomat. and interj. for the sound of a sigh: Hélas! ah! 3) Key says 1. [interj.] ... 2. sigh |
