石头在地球上，并不罕见，钻石也不例外，西伯利亚有个因陨石撞击形成的坑，内有上万亿克拉钻石，钻石是经典、精彩的营销案（pian）例（ju）； rock 也是一个常见词，在 COCA60000 中，作名词时词频排在 870 位，动词 4197 位。 rock 作为一个音乐门类，拥趸粉丝甚多。今天我要说的却是 rock 在词典中的一个释义。 朗文当代高级英语辞典（英英·英汉双解）（第 5 版）sb/sth rocks
spoken informal
said to show that you strongly approve of someone or something 【口，非正式】 某人/某事很有道理
woaini123@padwiki 发现这里的译文“很有道理”没有道理啊。 显然 it rocks 是表示很棒的意思。怎么会给出这样的译文。。。
有问题，查词典。 rock 的上述义项是从 LDOCE4 开始收录的，且第 4 版原版、双解和第 5 版均一模一样。译者可能是注意到英文释义里的“approve”，赞成嘛，就是“很有道理”咯。然而朗文其他几部双解词典，却不都这么看。 朗文高级英语应试词典（英汉双解）sb/sth rocks
