to slither through tunnel (to) traverse (a) tunnel
makiaea was not sure if this sentence was Chinese, Cantonese or both ? lit. "crawl through a mountain cave" use of 捐 gyun1 -- although seen on internet, e.g. 火車捐山窿 (train going through tunnel), in cantodict gyun1 is not yet known as crawl through. maybe homonym with different character? Level: 4 |
