翠姨道:“你嫌多妻吗?未必吧?为什么今年上半年有人送一个丫头给你,你还打算收下呢?不是我极力地反对,丫头早就讨了。”
金铨道:“你这话根本就不对。丫头是丫头,姨太太是姨太太,那怎样能混为一谈?”
翠姨将嘴一撇道:“你以为我不知道呢?其名是送你丫头,其实是姨太太啊。”
金铨道:“你这话有些说不过去,人家送丫头,为什么你定说 是送姨太太呢?”

Just the day before yesterday she had retrieved a dozen or so plates from the pile of rice-stalk ashes. After questioning my mother, Second Sister Yang concluded that they must have been hidden there by Runtu so that he could make off with them when he came for the other stuff. (Lyell)
> Mother said that ever since our family started packing up, Mrs. Yang from the beancurd shop had come over every day, and the day before in the ash-heap she had unearthed a dozen bowls and plates, which after some discussion she insisted must have been buried there by Runtu, so that when he came to remove the ashes he could take them home at the same time. (Yangs)
> While they'd been packing up the house, Mother reported, the Bean-Curd Beauty had been round every day. The day before yesterday, she had picked out from the pile of ashes a dozen dishes and bowls, which, she declared after some discussion... (Lovell)

Editor: further evidence of the noun sense ~

有關《考工記》的著作年代,諸家論議,未有定說。

陶淵明的〈飲酒〉詩「採菊東蘺下,悠然見南山」二句,應作如何理會、解釋,從來各有所見,難有定說,

这在学者间,尚是众讼纷纭,未有定说

說法③的各種陰謀論說在近年的史學界呼聲甚高,同時也符合日本人極好陰謀論的思維,令各種的陰謀、陰謀論說幾近成定說。

由於沒有其他文字材料的佐證,因此陳先生的意見只能說是一種推測,難成定說。
