| Part-of-speech | vs-s,vi |
| English 1 | to be equal in number, degree, etc. (of two things in opposition) |
| Reference | koj, daijr, daijs
there's no entry for 相半ば here or anywhere else, so obviously should be classified as some kind of verb |
| Comment | i think "to have a fifty-fifty (chance)" is wrong without a specific context, and probably just plain wrong
"to balance" and "to cancel each other out" have a nuance of something "being a wash" that i'm not sure is appropriate here (although it might be). does progressive's example sentence imply that you can't really criticize the governor, like the english phrases suggest? 知事としての彼の業績は功罪相半ばする As governor, he has done both good and harmful things. |
