<< review queue entry 71451 >> test the waters: to find out what the situation is before doing something or making a decision. 对应的是中文“试水”，而非“试水温” 试水 shì//shuǐ 动 ❶ 水利工程、水暖设备等正式使用之前，先放水进行试验性操作，看它的性能和质量是否合乎要求。 ❷ 试探水的深浅、冷暖等，泛指进行尝试、试探：一些厂家谨慎～，小批量生产。 ------------------------------------- Editor: It's not only 試水 that has that meaning; we documented our definition of 試水溫 when we added the entry five years ago. https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?log_id=63503&return=ListChanges&handler=ViewLogEntry |
