<< review queue entry 67553 - submitted by 'monigeria' >> Just saw this in a text message. I believe this comes from the Japanese "口嫌體正直." Explanation from Baidu Baike: 通常译为：“嘴上说不要，身体反应倒是很诚实嘛。” https://www.sohu.com/a/450750466_120011568 不过相处久了就会发现，天蝎座其实就是口嫌体直，嘴上说着不喜欢，其实明明就很喜欢的啦 http://news.yule.com.cn/html/202102/328159.html 虽然有时候他们嘴上别扭，但是“口嫌体直”呀，只要彼此有热爱长存于心，总有一天一切都会化解。 https://www.chinanews.com/yl/2020/12-18/9365507.shtml 虽然教练球员们嘴上不饶人，可喝起汤来却是津津有味，这群篮球直男可谓把“口嫌体直”表现得淋漓尽致。 ---------------------------------------- Editor: 1) 口嫌體正直 is not Japanese -- it's a *Chinese* abbreviation of the following Japanese saying: 口が嫌だと言っても体は正直なものだ. (abbreviated by picking out the four key words 口, 嫌, 体, and 正直) And 口嫌體直 is a further abbreviation of it, achieved by reducing 正直 to 直, thus obtaining a pseudo chéngyǔ. Ref: https://zh.wiktionary.org/zh-hant/%E5%8F%A3%E5%AB%8C%E9%AB%94%E6%AD%A3%E7%9B%B4 2) The Baidu Baike snippet you quoted appears to be from the following article on the 5-character version (口嫌体正直): 口嫌体正直 （源于日语的汉字缩写） https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%8F%A3%E5%AB%8C%E4%BD%93%E6%AD%A3%E7%9B%B4/6435207 ... which corroborates what I wrote above. 3) Google results suggest 口嫌体正直 is quite a bit more common (3x) than the four-character version 口嫌体直. And in the case of the trad forms, 口嫌體正直 is *far* more common than 口嫌體直. (171,000 results for the longer version versus 19,000 for the shorter version). |
