核心畫面
Think of a small stone inside your shoe. It does not stop you walking, and it is nothing you would call anger — but it keeps rubbing, and after a while your face shows it. Annoyance is that small, repeated rub: mild, low, and hard to ignore because it does not go away.
可以想成鞋子裡的一顆小石子：它不會讓你走不動，也稱不上什麼怒火，但它一直在磨，磨久了臉色就變了。annoyance …更多收起
可以想成鞋子裡的一顆小石子：它不會讓你走不動，也稱不上什麼怒火，但它一直在磨，磨久了臉色就變了。annoyance 就是這種小小的、反覆的磨——火不大，卻因為一直在而難以忽略。它天生是「小」的，真正的大怒要用 anger 或 fury，用 annoyance 反而會把事情說輕。原始詞典資料3 筆記錄
