喜樂美語

核心畫面

You can picture 'blow' as a strong rush of moving air: the wind sweeping across a field, or a breath pushed out from your mouth. Air moves with force from one place toward another — and that single moving-air picture stretches to cover making shapes, sounding instruments, bursting things apart, and even money or chances 'gone with the wind'.

可以把 blow 想成「一股有力地流動的空氣」：風橫掃過原野，或是你從嘴裡用力呼出的一口氣。空氣帶著力道從一處往另一…更多收起可以把 blow 想成「一股有力地流動的空氣」：風橫掃過原野，或是你從嘴裡用力呼出的一口氣。空氣帶著力道從一處往另一處衝。這個『移動的氣流』畫面會一路延伸——吹出形狀、吹響樂器、把東西轟散、甚至把錢或機會像被風颳走一樣。要注意：名詞裡『一擊、打擊』那一支其實是另一個來源的字，雖然拼法一樣。
