<< review queue entry 66571 - submitted by 'kevinmaynard' >> https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%94%BE%E6%97%B7 放旷，汉语词语，拼音是fàng kuàng，意思是旷达；放达。 -------------------------------------- Editor: A definition like 旷达；放达 seems rather ambiguous. 放达 can mean "unconventional", for example, and 旷达 can mean "unrestrained by conventions". (I'm quoting definitions in other C-E dictionaries here.) That's somewhat different from "tolerant" and "philosophical", which you submitted. HDC 's definition of 放旷 is 豪放旷达，不拘礼俗, and "broad-minded, tolerant, philosophical" doesn't seem a good match for that. The last bit (不拘礼俗) makes it sound more like "unrestrained by conventions". So I'd need to look at examples to check the definition you proposed. But there aren't many examples given in your reference (Baike) or in other references. (The word is only in two of my dictionaries -- MoE and HDC.) Moreover, those examples are written in a language that is outside my wheelhouse -- a centuries-old form of Chinese. So, unfortunately, I decline to process your submission. |
