What is this sentence? It doesn't seem like a sentence. Is it what the Japanese says? If so, then we need to delete it.

@Nero: Exactly: "be" serving as the imperative makes no sense here, and this is why I thought it's a non-sentence.

@CK: Indeed, I didn't want to erase it myself (and I already saw it was tagged for deletion). I hope it will be taken care of.

BTW, I was curious to know who tagged it for deletion. I guess it's still not possible in Tatoeba.org to see who attaches a tag to any entry (and maybe it will never be?). I believe it could prove useful to know the identity of the tagger, at least in some cases.
