核心畫面

Hold the plain picture first: blood coming out and not staying where it should. A cut on a hand, a towel pressed down, someone watching to see whether the flow slows. Everything on this page can be reached from that picture — even the British swear word, where no blood is involved at all and only the heat of it is borrowed.

先抓住最單純的畫面:血正在流出來,沒有待在該待的地方。手上一道傷口,一條毛巾壓著,有人盯著看血有沒有變慢。這一頁上的更多收起先抓住最單純的畫面:血正在流出來,沒有待在該待的地方。手上一道傷口,一條毛巾壓著,有人盯著看血有沒有變慢。這一頁上的每個用法,都可以從這個畫面走到——包括英式口語裡那個罵人的加強語;那裡完全沒有血,被借走的只是這個畫面的火氣。

From the word’s history

The source analyses the word simply as bleed + -ing: the verb turned into a thing and into a describing word.

資料來源把這個字直接分析為 bleed 加 -ing:一個動詞被變成一件事(名詞),也被變成一個描述用的字。

Wiktionary (kaikki extract) entry for bleeding: "By surface analysis, bleed + -ing."

血流出來

這一組就是畫面本身,一個把它當成事情,一個把它貼在受傷的部位上。

noun · B1

The loss of blood from the body, when blood comes out of a cut or wound, or out of a damaged blood vessel inside the body.

出血、流血

生氣時的加強語(英式口語)

可以想成:流血的那個畫面太強烈,於是它的「火氣」被借走,血本身留在原地。這是幫助記憶的連結,不是在說歷史上真的這樣演變。

adjective · C1

Put before a noun to make angry words stronger. It adds no meaning of its own; it only shows that the speaker is annoyed. Many people hear it as rude, and it is mainly British.

該死的(生氣時的加強語)
