     這是因爲這個‘塊’字在四川分類上是個例外。它把北平的去聲字歸入上聲，所以改錯了。 [MSC, trad.]
     这是因为这个‘块’字在四川分类上是个例外。它把北平的去声字归入上声，所以改错了。 [MSC, simp.]

     Zhè shì yīnwèi zhè ge ‘kuài’ zì zài Sìchuān fēnlèi shàng shì ge lìwài. Tā bǎ Běipíng de qùshēngzì guīrù shǎngshēng, suǒyǐ gǎicuò le. [Pinyin]

     This is because kuai 塊／块 (kuài) is an anomaly in terms of its Sichuan[ese] [tonal] category. He treated a Beijing tone 4 character as tone 3, and thus made an improper correction.

3. (literary) Alternative form of 改措 (gǎicuò, “to change plans”)
