“挺动”释疑

The Interpretation of Phrase of "Ting Dong"

对《世说新语》中"挺动"一词的解释历来莫衷一是。张万起、刘尚慈主编的《世说新语译注》对"挺动"一词的解释还有待考证。结合古籍中使用"挺动"一词的资料及《汉语大词典》的相关条目释义,"挺动"一词释为"振作、灵活"更为可靠。

The interpretation in the book The Translation and Annotation ofShi Shuo Xin Yu edited by Mr. Zhang Wanqi is also debated. In the article, it has collected some other new instances of the phrase of ＂Ting Dong＂ in the ancient documents. Understanding the explanation of the phrase in The Chinese Word Dictionary, it is to correct the meaning of the phrase of ＂Ting Dong＂as a reliable explanation of ＂Cheer- up or flexible＂.
