Gem & Jade Pictorial Explanation: My opinion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-04 20:39:07 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Gem=precious stone=宝石, which does not necessarily mean \"宝玉石\". Jade=\"玉石\". \"宝玉石\"= \"宝石\"+\"玉石\"=Gem+ Jade Accordingly, \"宝玉石画刊\"= \"Gem+Jade+Pictorial\"=\"Gem & Jade Pictorial\" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-05 02:37:20 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If it is <<宝石画刊>>, then nothing could be better than \"Gem(stone) Pictorial\". Nevertheless, in reality, the original name of the magazine is <<宝玉石画刊>>. Thus , in order to make our rendering sound more professional, faithful, and accurate, we would have to adopt \"Gem & Jade Pictorial\". |

peer agreement (net): +1Gemstone Pictorial Explanation: Gemstone Pictorial -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-04 21:15:04 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Gemstone是宝石， 包括钻石、玉和其它宝石的总称，我这里有一本中国地质大学出版社出版的《宝石学》（Gemology），第三章就是Classification of Gemstones。其中讲到原来一般将钻石和宝石统称为宝石，但现在有的人倾向于将钻石和宝石分开，理由是钻石可以按质、量供销，钻石作价有一定的规律，有国际市场价格。而宝石由于质地好的产量稀少且产量极不稳定，没有统一的规格，没有统一的标准，也没有统一的价格。 |

Gemstones Illustrated Explanation: Why "Illustrated" instead of "Pictorial"? Well, this is the title of a magazine. Ever heard of "Mechanics Illustrated," "Boating Illustrated," and other magazines published in America and Canada with similar names, which contain a lot of pictures in them? |
