<< review queue entry 73097 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Review old entries with 不忍. ----------------------------------------- (1) No "scenes of devastation" in these examples: 台灣的國際貿易成績將慘不忍睹， Taiwan's international trade performance would have been miserable 也以幸安國小兩百多位六年級學童做體能測試，結果更是「慘不忍睹」， carried out physical examinations on 200 sixth graders at the Hsingan Elementary School, and the results were even more startling. ... 並以「慘不忍睹」來形容， In its "2001 Report on Human Rights in Taiwan," CAHR used the term "atrocious" to describe Taiwan's scores in many human rights categories. 「美感社會最根柢的問題，還在於公共性的脫落，」曾梓峰指出。曾梓峰教大家作一個小實驗：當你從一個講究美感的私人空間走出來，會發現越往外、越靠近公共空間的地方就越醜，出了家門的公私「介面」更是慘不忍睹。 Tseng Tzu-feng says, "The biggest obstacle to an aesthetic society remains the deterioration of public spaces." Tseng tells people to conduct a little experiment: when you leave an aesthetically appealing private house, you'll soon notice that the farther away you get from it and the closer you go to a public space, the uglier everything around you will be. What you see as you cross the threshold of the house, that is to say the interface between private and public, is so miserable that you can barely bear to look at it. 部分生意做不起來的攤商，還把店面租給卡拉OK業者，疲勞轟炸鄰人，髒亂景況真是慘不忍睹。 Some vendors simply could not continue doing business so they rented their shops out to karaoke businesses, making the neighborhood very noisy. The place was a mess. 尤其不少簡體字根本違反造字原則，毫無邏輯規章，在譚克所長看來簡直是慘不忍睹， Because many simplified characters violate established principles of character formation and have no logic or rule behind them, Professor Ptak cannot bear the sight of them. 直線會歪斜、平面會凹塌、伸長的線條會縮短，比例已不成原形，一開始燒出來的作品是東倒西歪，慘不忍睹。 straight lines were bent, flat surfaces buckled, and lengthy stretches were diminished. The finished works did not have the same dimensions as their originals, and were lamentably skewed. ------------------------------------------ (2) It's to do with *hearing* (聞) about something terrible, not "enduring" it. Ex. - 这些 故事多数都是惨不忍闻的。 - 从远处敌人的牢房里不时传来惨不忍闻的尖叫声。 - 他们羞怯而冗长的废话让人惨不忍闻。 LA ~ 形容狀況悽慘，令人不忍心聽聞。 例 「電臺新聞播報著飛機空難的消息，實在慘不忍聞」。 |
