3 +1 | of secondary significance/importance |

of secondary significance/importance Explanation: Well, more contextual clues are needed to work out the exact meaning of this sentence. Judging from what I have here, I think “第二义的" can be translated as ...is of secondary significance/importance -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2010-05-28 10:18:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi, f_cassini, sounds you've got a pretty tricky job there. I read the sentence again and now i think it most likely means "acquired meanings". Seems to me it makes better sense together with the preceding phrase 后人附会的, which i take to mean "meanings/significance assigned to 风 by later generations". Hope it helps! |
