FireEater Posted July 9, 2007 at 06:20 AM Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 06:20 AM Hiyoo! Could the following little squiggle, lian2 as I listen, do the job of a Measure Word? 帘 And if so, what sort of things/phenomena does it, as it were, measure? Bye now, Jan Quote
muyongshi Posted July 9, 2007 at 06:28 AM Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 06:28 AM Not sure that I have ever heard this used as a measure word... I looked and couldn't find it in the dictionary either. It is part of the word 窗帘 and just means curtain by it self as well meaning "flag as shop sign" or "curtain". Sorry! Quote
kkmp008 Posted July 9, 2007 at 07:48 AM Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 07:48 AM Could 帘 do the job of a Measure Word? Yes. On very rare occasions. And if so, what sort of things/phenomena does it, as it were, measure? It's usually seen in the combination 一帘幽梦 (roughly translated as: a curtain of long dream). Here the curtain refers to an enclosure with a curtain and 一帘幽梦 means that whatever happens within the enclosure is like a long dream. Quote

skylee Posted July 9, 2007 at 10:00 AM Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 10:00 AM Yeah 一簾幽夢. It is also the name of an old song. You can listen to different versions here -> http://mp3.baidu.com/m?f=ms&rn=&tn=baidump3&ct=134217728&word=%D2%BB%BA%9F%D3%C4%89%F4&lm=-1 Quote
