It says in Great Expectations,
‘Much of that!’ said he, glancing about him over the
cold wet flat. ‘I wish I was a frog. Or a eel!’
What does this mean/imply?
I find two amphibolous segments in Milton's poem "On Shakespeare" when translating into Chinese, and thus need some help.
In first stanza
What needs my Shakespeare for his honored bones,
The labor of an Age, in piled stones
Or that his hallow'd Reliques should be hid

Why not turn accepting answers into a privilege that requires a certain amount of reps (e.g. 125, as for the downvote privilege)? See my suggestions on French SE.

chimney and quietly fenced me up there with his great

@Tsundoku I doubt that suggestion would ever fly. Even the newest of OPs, in most situations, can judge when their own problem has been solved. Especially on a site like SO where the problem is solved if the code works, you don't need any expertise to judge that.
@Randal'Thor The claim that no expertise is needed does not transfer very well from SO to Literature SE. Witness What is the meaning of "Georgian Verse"? where the highest-voted (though admittedly not accepted) answer is dead wrong.
@Tsundoku Unfortunately, but realistically, I would guess that, even if SE is now willing to give individual network sites the choice of whether or not to buy in to a policy originally created for SO, they're probably less likely to spend any dev time at all on creating features that would only be useful on non-SO sites.
Should short-stories-by-premchand even be a tag? It does not seem to be a collection published by Premchand but a translation of a selection of stories chosen by someone else.
@Alex ? Voting up is something else that accepting an answer?
