可以想成：一個東西完全給不了你的注意力任何抓握點——沒有意外的演講、每個轉折你都猜得到的電影、一整天重複同一個小時的工作。它不讓人痛苦，只是給不出理由讓你繼續聽、繼續看、繼續做下去。這個字是 -ing 形，指向「造成感覺的來源」：那部電影、那堂課、那個小鎮。原始詞典資料15 筆記錄

- A warm, soft, tender, sweet sensation. It's much like anesthesia– And mysteriously, my trembling gradually starts to lessen. Her faint breaths tickle my cheek. A very sweet scent. I abruptly feel a pressure against my chest. The great sword she carries is tearing the skin of my chest, boring into my flesh, threading through my bones, and steadily sinking its way into my body. Yet, numbed by the anesthesia of the kiss, I no longer feel any pain. Because you kill me like this, so gently– I unexpectedly become anguished. I'm on the verge of crying. To keep her from noticing, I look past her head, up at the dark gray sky that goes on dropping rain on us.
