<< review queue entry 66408 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> In 2007, a contributor called "dadim" put in the following sub 專司 专司 [zhuan1 si1] /be responsible for/ https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?handler=ListProcessedQueueEntries&listprocessedqueueentries_searchterm=%E4%B8%93%E5%8F%B8&listprocessedqueueentries_matchwholewordonly=1&listprocessedqueueentries_searchuserid=&listprocessedqueueentries_searchuseridmatchtype=2 It was correct in that it defined 专司 as a verb, although the proposed definition did not take account of the 专 part (i.e. specialization). It was processed as 專司 专司 [zhuan1 si1] /specialist (responsible some task)/ The problem with that, apart from "responsible some task" being ungrammatical, is that it rejected the suggestion that 專司 is a verb. But in every example I found (see below) 專司 is in fact a verb. We had better keep a noun sense, though, since that's in M and GR. M ~ 專門負責某項事物的人或機構。 GR ~ chef de service Examples: ear 專司聽覺的器官 listening post 專司監聽旳短波電台 TP 抱著五色龍珠的小貓咪，紅紫藍白黃五色一字排開，其中專司招財的黃喵喵，買氣已然凌駕招財貓之上！ Take, for instance, this litter of Fengshui Kitties, lined up here with each holding a different colored pearl: red, purple, blue, white or yellow. The Fengshui Kitty with the yellow pearl, which specializes in attracting money, is now selling even better than Maneki Neko! 專司寶石加工進出口的黃鎬全說， Huang Hao-chuan, an importer, exporter and processor of gems, says 兩位負責主要調度，一位專司動作， Two [directors] handle the mise-en-scene and one works solely on the martial arts, 劃分僑務、政務、媒體等專司功能， with different locations having different specialties, such as overseas Chinese affairs, political affairs, and media relations. 眾所週知，螞蟻具有分工合作的「社會行為」──有些工蟻辛勤覓食、有的專司照顧幼蟲、兵蟻一心抵禦外侮、蟻后努力生產、雄蟻專責交配，大家各司其職，合作無間，造就了螞蟻高效率的生存優勢。 As everyone knows, ants exhibit social behavior that involves a distribution of labor: Some worker ants are responsible for foraging for food while others care for the larvae; soldier ants defend the nest; the queen lays eggs; the males fertilize the eggs. Within the colony, each class fulfills its responsibilities, cooperating ceaselessly with the others. This leads to the high degree of efficiency that is the ant's survival advantage. |
