<< review queue entry 76557 - submitted by 'kbaiko' >> I don't think these are Chinese expressions ----------------------------- Editor: I'd prefer a slightly smaller batch when it comes to this sort of thing (deletions). Grand Ricci has 俗隨時變 "(loc.) autres temps, autres moeurs" And there's this regarding 血债要用血来还. 【成语】：血债要用血来还 【解释】：指犯下杀人害命的罪行，必须以死来抵偿。 【出处】：曲波《桥隆飙》：“同志们，走！血债要用血来还，欠一分也不成！” 【示例】：生擒许家恶魔，送交人民——有仇报仇，有冤报冤，～。 曲波《林海雪原》第八回 https://m.guoxuedashi.net/chengyu/39895x.html So maybe those two are worth looking into. Neither of them seems to be commonly used, and I wouldn't rule out deleting them, but I'll keep them for now. |
