核心畫面

A useful picture: something moving forward at you — not waiting, not holding back, pressing into your space.

「向前撲過來」的那個動作。不是站在原地,而是主動往前推進、往對方的空間裡壓。至於這股向前的力量是好是壞,這個字本身其更多收起「向前撲過來」的那個動作。不是站在原地,而是主動往前推進、往對方的空間裡壓。至於這股向前的力量是好是壞,這個字本身其實沒說——它只描述那個「不等待、不收手、直接壓上去」的樣子。所以同一個力道,落在吵架的人身上是嚇人,落在做生意的人身上是有衝勁,落在疾病身上就是可怕。

Three branches

向人壓過去:有攻擊性

把「向前壓」直接對準另一個人,那股力量就變成威脅。

aggressively, threateningly · adjective · B1

Behaving in an angry way that makes other people think you want to fight or attack them — in your voice, your face, or the way you move towards them.

有攻擊性的;挑釁的

向目標壓過去:積極強勢

同樣的前壓力道,但矛頭指向目標而不是人,於是聽起來就成了褒意居多。

aggressively, ambitiously · adjective · B2

Very determined to succeed or to get what you want, and willing to push hard and fast to make it happen.

積極進取的;強勢的

在體內擴散:惡性

把前壓的主體換成疾病:它在身體裡快速推進,佔地盤的速度就是它的攻擊性。

aggressive (illness) · adjective · B2

Used about an illness that spreads quickly through the body, so doctors need to find it and treat it early.

(疾病)惡性的;擴散很快的
