<< review queue entry 68869 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Trying to make the definition more concise. - removing the gratuitous "little white mouse" - shortening the last gloss etc. 小白鼠，是一個中文俗名，可以指： 泛指動物實驗用鼠類，其中包括： 實驗小鼠，尤其是白化品系的實驗小鼠。 <----------- "lab mouse ... usually of the species Mus musculus" 實驗大鼠，尤其是白化品系的實驗大鼠。 <----------- "lab rat - brown rat of the subspecies Rattus norvegicus domestica which is bred and kept for scientific research" 泛指所有的小家鼠（Mus musculus ）。 <----------- "house mouse (Mus musculus)" https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B0%8F%E7%99%BD%E9%BC%A0 Wiktionary [Wyang] 1. laboratory rat; lab rat 2. (figuratively) lab rat; guinea pig (subject of an experiment or test) Example (fig. sense): 沪杭磁悬浮计划不是暂停了吗？沿途居民都担心辐射问题。谁也不想当小白鼠。好像德国制定的标准是磁悬浮两侧要有300米的防护带。 Didn't they temporarily stop the plans for a Shanghai-Hangzhou maglev? The people who live beside the track were concerned about radiation. Nobody wants to be a lab rat. It seems the standard in Germany is that there should be a 300 meter protective band on each side of the track. |
