]]> Comment on The Great Harm of Drinking Alcohol by Jesse Ciccotti https://ccposters.com/en/poster/drinking-evil/#comment-2337 Tue, 17 Nov 2020 02:14:20 +0000 http://ccposters.com/?post_type=poster&p=4044#comment-2337 Several notes on the translation:

Right side, line 2: from idiom 成语: 懒不自惜.

Middle, second to last line: The second character as it is drawn in the poster, as far as I can tell, is either misdrawn or a variant; one online character variant website from Taiwan mentions that 祟 is easily confused with 崇, and it seems that the poster’s artist combined the two with a 出 over a 宗, when it should be a 出 over a 示, for 祟, or a 山 over a 宗 for 崇; see (https://dict.variants.moe.edu.tw/variants/rbt/word_attribute.rbt?quote_code=QTAyODg4). So the character should either be 祟 suì, as I have translated it, or 崇 chóng, but 崇 does not make any sense, whereas 作祟 is a phrase, figuratively meaning ‘to cause trouble’ or ‘make mischief’.

Middle, last line: from 粘连, read figuratively.

We have included both because, on close inspection, they appear to be two separate printings.
