<< review queue entry 69360 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> ii "blurt out" means "utter suddenly and impulsively" [AHD]. - 嚷 is by definition loud (LA: 大聲喊叫), whereas "blurt out" is not. - "blurt out" is by definition impulsive, whereas 嚷 is not. Examples: 我撇下胖姑娘蹬蹬地上楼，打开门一边往里走一边嚷：“警察，警察来了，都放下手里东西坐着别动。” Leaving her where she stood, I clomped upstairs and flung open the door. "Cops!" I shouted. "The cops are here. Drop everything and don't move." 满面放光地举着堆着丰富泡沫的啤酒，在高洋旁边笑着嚷着的情景…… he beams as he raises a foamy glass of beer and bellows from his seat next to Gao Yang ... 要不我就嚷嚷， I'll scream if you don't give it to me 嘘。别嚷嚷。 Shh. Don't shout. 现在你一个姑娘家，却嚷着要出去，这.......这像话吗？ Now you're a single girl, shouting that you want to move out...is this reasonable? ---------------------------- /to make a big deal of sth/to make a fuss about sth/ These examples are actually in the form of the 嚷着 rather than just 嚷. It's not literally "shouting", but it's certainly not "blurting out' either. 人们整天嚷着要重能力不重学历，可要是没有一纸文凭，根本就踏不进公司的门槛。 Everyone is always talking about placing importance on ability, not education - but if you don't have that diploma, there's no way you'll be able to get a foot in the door at any company. 大陆也有人嚷着要恢复繁体字。 There are also people on the mainland who say we should get back to traditional characters. 有不少女人嚷着要像找工作那样用心去找老公。 A lot of woman are talking about finding a husband with the same diligence one applies to their work. 這也是為什麼儘管每家廠商都嚷著成本增加、利潤變薄，但還是忍著不敢漲價、或是訂價漲了又用各種優惠大作促銷的原因。 This is another reason why, despite the fact that every manufacturer was complaining of rising costs and falling profits, they still didn't dare to put up their prices, or if they did so they then embarked on all kinds of discount promotions. 比較起來，歐洲之於當時的中國人，雖然對於耶穌即為上帝的說法不甚服氣，但泰西到底是個長於曆算器械、成天嚷嚷著要多做買賣的踏實人境。 Although the Chinese of those days did not care too much for the idea that Jesus should be set up as a god, they did see that the Occident was a real place that had a knack with calendars and mechanics and liked to make a fuss about doing business. |
