韦氏高阶英汉双解词典red tape
» You would not believe the red tape involved in getting the required permits. 你无法相信要取得相应的许可会涉及多少烦琐程序。
原评：这里“烦琐”我觉得改为“繁琐”更好。
补充：有老师提醒在《现代汉语词典》（第 7 版）中，“烦琐”为首选词，“繁琐”为可用词。 现代汉语词典（第 7 版）烦琐
形
繁杂琐碎:：手续～ |～的考据。也作繁琐。
繁琐
同“烦琐”。
事实上，现代汉语词典第 4、5、6、7 版，“繁琐”、“烦琐”两个条目的释义没有任何修订，仅仅是从第 5 版开始，给“烦琐”标注了形容词词性。从释义长度来看，《现代汉语词典》是推荐“烦琐”的。 现代汉语规范词典（第 3 版）烦琐
现在一般写作“繁琐”。
繁琐
形
繁多而琐碎。手续繁琐
《现代汉语规范词典》则推荐“繁琐”，编辑这么做，应该也是有依据的。 下面 GoldenDict 全文搜索大法上场了。
我在牛、朗、剑、麦、柯各大学习型双解词典中，搜索“繁琐”，有 22 条结果；搜索“烦琐”，仅有 3 个结果，其中《麦克米伦》 2 处，《朗文》 1 处。
所以在高阶英汉双解词典中，“繁琐”占据压倒性优势。
详列如下。 麦克米伦高阶英汉双解词典en·joy /ɪnˈdʒɔɪ/
