身上的力氣
肉長在活人身上，就看它能做什麼——這一支講的是那塊肉發出來的力量。
noun · B2
Strength of the body — the power that comes from thick, heavy muscle. English often uses it when body strength is being named next to thinking ability, as in brains and brawn.
力氣／肌肉力量
核心畫面
One way to hold brawn is as a thick piece of flesh. Not a shape on a plan, but real meat with weight in it — the heavy muscle across a shoulder, the solid part of a leg. Everything the word does comes back to that piece of flesh: on a living body it is the power to lift and push; on a kitchen table it is food.

brawn 可以想成一塊厚實的肉。不是抽象的力量，是有重量、抓得到的那種肉。像肩膀上鼓起來的那一塊，像大腿上結實的那一段。長在活的身體上，它就是搬得動、推得動的力氣。放到廚房的桌上，它就是一道要煮、要壓、要切片的食物。這個字的兩個意思，都是從同一塊肉長出來的，只是一個看它能做什麼，一個看它怎麼被吃掉。From the word’s history
Middle English brawne comes from Old French braon, a slice of meat or the fleshy part of the body, and behind that a Germanic word for roast meat. The meat came first; the strength reading grew out of it.
brawn 來自中古英文 brawne，再往前是古法文 braon，意思是「一塊肉、身上肉厚的部位」，更早則連到日耳曼語裡「烤肉」的字。所以順序是先有肉，後有力氣：先指身上那塊結實的肉，才慢慢變成那塊肉能發出的力量。

端上桌的肉
同一塊肉，這次離開身體、進了鍋子——這一支講的是它被煮、被壓、被切片之後的樣子。
