<< review queue entry 70903 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 交代 1) /to transfer (duties to sb else)/ 我要對同事交代， I'm passing the baton to my colleagues 2) /to give instructions; to tell (sb to do sth)/ LA ~ 囑咐；叮嚀。例 「老師再三交代他不可魯莽行事」。 「交代他們『把角落的蜘蛛清一下』，結果發現蜘蛛雖然不見了，蜘蛛網還掛在那裡！」 "Ask them to go clean out the spiders in the corner, and when you come back you'll find the spiders have gone but the cobwebs are still hanging there!" 我對著黑暗出聲。閣樓裡面因為腳會踩得黑黑的，大人總是交代要穿陽台的拖鞋進去，但我等不及了，只脫了襪子，便直接踏入黑暗當中。 Our feet got really dirty when we went into the attic, so we were always being told to make sure to wear the sandals we use to go out onto the veranda, but I was too impatient to fetch them. I just took off my socks before stepping into the darkness. 你想不想跟他們做一點交代？ Would you like to give them some instructions? 3) /to explain; to give an account; to brief/ 解釋；說明。例 「我向父母交代晚歸的原因」。 試圖為不熟悉全本老戲的觀眾交代背景。 In so doing, they hoped to give a full explanation to the audience members not so familiar with the complete version of the old drama. 對這段人聲的來源並未交代清楚。 But neither on the jacket nor in the CD liner notes was the origin of the human voices explained clearly. 否則一旦操作失利，要怎樣才能自圓其說，向投資人交代？ Otherwise, if they lose money speculating, how will they explain that to their investors? 4) /to confess; to account for oneself/ [This sense is a special case of sense #3, I'd say. In LA, for example, it's included in sense #3.] 你自己说呢？难怪最近都不来找我了。真没想到你这么重色轻友！老实交代，是哪位白马王子把你迷得这么晕头转向啊？ So you admit it? No wonder you've been so hard to find lately! I had no idea you would put your love life so far ahead of your friends. Come on, give me the straight dope. Who's the Prince Charming who swept you off your feet? 5) /(jocular) to come to a bad end/ See GF. Our present def "(coll.) to finish" doesn't seem to convey the meaning well. This sense is in other dicts, but they say it's written 交待 rather than 交代. |
