Pop jisyo semms to be a help, though you have to remember to select the chinese->english dictionary. You'll find the characters above on the navigation breadcrumbs (and elsewhere) near the top of this webpage seen through Pop Jisyo: just hover your mouse over each character in turn. http://www.popjisyo.com/WebHint/AddHint.aspx?d=9&e=Big5&r=e&s=0&du=http%253a%252f%252fwww.m-w.com%252fcgi-bin%252fdictionary%253fbook%253dDictionary%2526va%253d&u=http%253a%252f%252fd.wanfangdata.com.cn%252fPeriodical_niangjkj200911030.aspx http://tinyurl.com/3xqy9tp In short, that first character 浓 seems to mean thick/strong/concentrated. 浓 thick/strong/concentrated 香 fragrant/scented 型 type 白酒 white spirit That's the best I can do. -- Eric -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
