陳德聰 Posted November 27, 2017 at 08:00 PM Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 at 08:00 PM 風塵 can refer to environments where sex work is done. Your verb phrase should be parsed 做出[ [ 風塵 ] 氣 ] where you could probably substitute 騷 for 風塵 and retain the general meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius Posted November 28, 2017 at 05:39 AM Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 at 05:39 AM From Baidu Baike: 风尘是一个汉语词汇，拼音是fēng chén，比喻旅途的艰辛劳累；或比喻纷乱的社会或漂泊江湖的境况；旧指娼妓生涯，出自杜甫《赠别贺兰铦》。 The development of meaning is along the line of: Literal wind and dust -> trek -> the life of a traveler, wanderer -> complex, fluid, and often perilous environment -> euphemism for prostitution (流落风尘 = become a prostitute) 刻意做出风尘气 here means coquettishly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
