jbradfor 681 Posted February 7, 2011 at 02:49 PM Report One of these days I'll look up what 怠 means, but that seems like too much work right now. B)
creamyhorror 216 Posted February 7, 2011 at 06:10 PM Report "At idle speed", huh. No idea about the antonym, though.
jbradfor 681 Posted February 7, 2011 at 06:32 PM Report Something tells me the antonym is not 怠速外. Maybe 忙 速中?
jbradfor 681 Posted February 8, 2011 at 02:59 PM Report Humm, I'll consider it. However, google only has 41 hits for that phrase (it says more, but if you go past page 4 it says only 41), most of them are related to VOA, and many of the others have a punctuation marking in the middle (e.g. 常速、中速和高速). So while it's foolish of me to disagree with you, it doesn't pass my normal test. So roddy, what is the answer? My other guess is 運行中?
roddy 5842 Posted February 11, 2011 at 08:00 AM Report Oh yes, the bit where I'm meant to come back and tell you the answer. The other one (going in the same direction, btw) was 急速中.
xiaocai 235 Posted February 11, 2011 at 11:50 PM Report That sounds scary. I'd rather take the one says 怠速中.
