kavanin Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:08 AM Report Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:08 AM 眼睛冒金花 This is from a group of phrases exemplifying the use of 冒. My question is: eye emits what? "Golden flower," yes, but what is it? Dictionaries are mute. Quote
danny1997 Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:17 AM Report Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:17 AM 眼睛冒金花 means "feel dizzy". Quote
andysun731 Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:32 AM Report Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:32 AM More often it is “眼冒金星”. “金星” is "Golden star". "眼冒金星" means that someone is dizzy who sees a lot of golden stars. His eyes will emit nothing. Quote
skylee Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:35 AM Report Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:35 AM Usually it is 金星. Take a look at verb (4) -> http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/cgi-bin/agrep-lindict?query=%ab%5f&category=wholerecord Also search for 金星 in the Taiwan MOE Dictionary here. The first two entries are relevant. Quote
skylee Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:45 AM Report Posted August 10, 2012 at 07:45 AM Also, you can find this explanation of 金星 in the Xiandai Hanyu Cidian - 頭暈眼花時所感到的眼前出現的像星的小點：我跑得上氣不接下氣，眼前直冒金星。 Quote
kavanin Posted August 10, 2012 at 08:03 AM Author Report Posted August 10, 2012 at 08:03 AM Thank you. My dictionaries have 金星, they don't have 金花. If it's indeed the same as 金星, then no problem. Quote
danny1997 Posted August 10, 2012 at 01:00 PM Report Posted August 10, 2012 at 01:00 PM 金星 is certainly correct, but others are commonly used and understood as "dizzy". 眼睛冒金星 眼睛冒金花 眼睛冒金圈 眼睛冒金光 Use baidu or google and search for "眼睛冒金" and you can see ... Quote
