Saturday, February 14, 2009

  • 有待印证
    yet to be confirmed

  • 有待解决
    remain to be solved

  • 有待证明
    have yet to be proved

  • 有待研究
    await research

  • 有待证实
    remain to be confirmed

  • 这个问题有待解决。
    This problem will have to wait for a solution.

  • 有待商榷 (shāngquè)
    remain to be discussed; remain to be determined

  • 我基本上同意你的建议, 但是有几个小问题有待商榷。
    Basically I agree with your proposals, but there are a few small points I'd like to discuss.
    (*有待商榷 can served as a way of expressing mild disagreement. For example, 有專家學者提出將公務員部分薪資改發消費券,以刺激景氣。筆者認為有待商榷。This words imply that the author disagree with the idea of replacing part of government workers' salary with vouchers.)
