核心畫面
One way to picture this word: a flat, soft, supporting surface you lie down on to rest — the piece of furniture in your room. Hold that picture of 'a flat base that something rests on top of', and most of the other meanings open up: the bottom of a river, a patch of garden soil, a layer of rock, a layer of food on a plate are all 'beds' because each is a flat foundation that other things settle onto. A second, quieter thread runs off the same furniture: the bed as the place of sleep (and so, of sex).
