<< review queue entry 63538 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> GRAND RICCI gives 蒼狗 cāng gŏu 1. (Allus.) Chien gris: mauvais augure (allus. à l’impératrice 呂Lü, veuve de l’empereur 高祖Gao Zu [256-195 A.C.; dyn. Han de l’Ouest] qui, apercevant un chien gris le prit pour un mauvais présage). 2. Abrév. de 蒼狗白雲 cāng gŏu bái yún: blancs nuages mués en chien gris (d’après le poème 可歎Ke Tan de 杜甫Du Fu[712-770 ; dyn. 唐Tang]) : vicissitudes de ce monde ; changements imprévisibles d’une situation. baike.baidu.com gives白云苍狗是一个成语，读音是bái yún cāng gǒu，指浮云像白衣裳，顷刻又变得像灰色的狗，比喻世事变幻无常。 -------------------------------------- Editor: Those references are not saying that 蒼狗白雲 means "a bad omen". They are saying it means - vicissitudes de ce monde ; changements imprévisibles d’une situation. [Grand Ricci] - 世事变幻无常 [Baidu Baike] example: 一九六七年的左派土製炸彈潮；七○年代保釣，加上大陸無日無之的逃亡、偷渡潮；七三年股市風暴；七四年與七九年間兩次石油危機；面對世局的白雲蒼狗，內心深處，對未來的信心開始崩潰。 "The world situation became changeable and unpredictable with the terrorist wave of 1967, the movement to protect the Tiaoyutai islands, the endless stream of refugees, the stock market storm of 1973, and the two oil crises of 1974 and 1979. Deep at heart, confidence in the future was beginning to collapse." |
