<< review queue entry 66348 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> “Textbook case” 教科书式 (Jiàokēshū shì) In May of this year, one online video got particularly popular on Chinese social media. In this video, a police officer is handling a suspect completely according to working procedure, clearly giving all orders and informing the suspect why he is being handled the way he is. According to many media sources and netizens, the officer was a ‘textbook example’ of handling criminals, which is why this became known as “textbook-style law enforcement” (教科书式执法). Now, you can find all kinds of ‘textbook styles,’ such as ‘textbook style performance,’ ‘textbook style design,’ etc. It can also be used in a negative way, talking about ‘textbook style scam,’ ‘textbook style debt collector,’ etc. https://www.whatsonweibo.com/chinas-top-ten-buzz-words-phrases-of-2018/ Examples: 这可真是教科书式求婚。女生答应了吧？ "This is a textbook example of a marriage proposal. Did the girl say yes?" http://www.eyeshenzhen.com/content/2019-01/02/content_21320546.htm 说良心话，这也的的确确的是一段非常“教科书式的表演”，令人叹服。 这样的分手官宣可以说非常教科书式了，同时也能把对双方的伤害降到最低，网友好感度也会更高。 都是非常教科书式的错误典范。 [a classic error] |
