<< review queue entry 67057 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> http://youdao.com/w/eng/没处 (3 520 000 results) https://www.google.com/search?q=%22沒處%22+OR+%22没处%22 ------------------------------------- Editor: 1) Your youdao link provides "no place" as a machine translation ("以上为机器翻译结果"). Machine translations are weak evidence. You need more than that. 2) The youdao example sentences do not provide evidence for the definitions you submitted. In those sentences, 没处 is a verb phrase consisting of a verb 没 ("not exist; not have; lack") and an object 处 ("place"). It doesn't mean "nowhere" in any of the senses of that word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nowhere It means "not have a place" or, equivalently, "have nowhere". It doesn't mean just "nowhere". For example, 没处诉苦 (in the 1st youdao sentence) means "not have (没) a place (处) to air one's grievances (诉苦)". We already have definitions for 没 and 处 that cover this sort of usage. 3.5 million results? Well there are 4.7 million Google results for "have nowhere", but you won't find an entry in an English dictionary for that phrase. And it looks like you likewise didn't find an entry for 没处 in any Chinese dictionary. |
