核心畫面

Think of an oven with the door shut. The heat inside is dry, it comes from every side at once, and it works slowly, turning soft dough into bread. Everything this word does can be traced back to that closed hot box: the work you do to fill it, the batch that comes out of it, and the feeling of standing in heat that behaves the same way.

可以想成一個關上門的烤箱。裡面的熱是乾的,從四面八方一起包過來,而且慢慢地作用。軟軟的麵團就在裡面變成麵包。baki更多收起可以想成一個關上門的烤箱。裡面的熱是乾的,從四面八方一起包過來,而且慢慢地作用。軟軟的麵團就在裡面變成麵包。baking 的幾個意思,都能從這個畫面看出來:把東西送進去的那整件事、一次端出來的那一批,還有人被那種熱包住時的感覺。

From the word’s history

The source records Middle English bakynge, equivalent to bake plus -ing, so the word is simply the act of baking turned into a name.

來源資料寫的是中古英語 bakynge,等於 bake 加上 -ing。也就是把「烤」這個動作直接變成一個名字,所以這個字天生就貼著烤箱的畫面。
