核心畫面

You can picture angry as a hot, pushing feeling rising up inside someone who feels wronged: the jaw tightens, the face flushes, heat builds and wants to come out. That inner heat is the core. From there the word lends its look to things that aren't people at all — a dark sky, a red swollen sore — because they wear the same charged, threatening, appearance that an angry person does.

可以把 angry 想成一個覺得自己被虧待的人,心裡升起一股又熱又往外頂的情緒:下巴繃緊、臉漲紅,那股熱往上衝、想發更多收起可以把 angry 想成一個覺得自己被虧待的人,心裡升起一股又熱又往外頂的情緒:下巴繃緊、臉漲紅,那股熱往上衝、想發出來。這股『體內的熱』就是核心。從這裡開始,這個字也借給了根本不是人的東西——一片陰沉欲雨的天、一道紅腫的傷口——因為它們披著跟生氣的人一樣的那種緊繃、帶威脅、發紅發燙的樣子。

人心裡那股熱:生氣

這一家是核心本身:人因為覺得不公平或被虧待,心裡冒出的那股強烈又發熱的情緒——可能朝外對著別人,也可能朝內對著自己。

生氣的

把生氣的樣子借給東西

把人生氣時那種『緊繃、發紅、帶威脅』的外觀,借給根本沒有情緒的東西。天空和傷口本身不會生氣,但它們看起來就像一張怒臉,所以借用了這個字。
