Continuing from my previous question, here's another sentence I picked from a song.
一件件新衣向身上比一比。
I tried to search through Pinpin Dictionary, it means:
- To make a comparison
- To engage in a contest
- To compare a little
which is rather odd and not making any sense to the sentence.
I also think that "比一比" is a reduplication of "比", which could have the same meaning as "比比". I found one in Wiktionary, it means:
- Everywhere; All over
- All the time; Again and again
which has a better translation.
To sum up, what does "比一比" mean in this sentence? Could it mean "everywhere; all over"? Or do you have any other translation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
