4 Chinaman
устар. китаецавстрал.(Chinaman or Chinese Usage books sometimes suggest that the word Chinaman has derogatory overtones. If so they may originate in its being a slightly awkward formation by comparison with the more regular Dutchman, Englishman, Frenchman etc. (combinations of adjective plus noun, rather than noun plus noun). More likely it’s a matter of colonial prejudice. In Australia nowadays it seems old-fashioned rather than derogatory, and that is probably sufficient reason for seeking an alternative. A neutral substitute can be found in using Chinese as a noun, though some people find it unsatisfactory for use in the singular: a Chinese. Possible paraphrases are Chinese person or Chinese citizen. Note that the abbreviation ABC for “Australian-born Chinese” is used by demographers, but it would seem curt in other contexts.)Англо-русский универсальный дополнительный практический переводческий словарь И.
