身體上的瘀青（痕跡與造成痕跡）
最直接的一組：核心畫面本身，加上把它當動作講的說法。名詞是那塊印子，動詞是撞出那塊印子的過程。
a bruise mark on skin · noun · A2
a purple, blue, or brown mark on your skin that appears after you fall or knock that part of your body against something.

a bruise on fruit · noun · B1
a soft brown mark on a piece of fruit or a vegetable, where it has been knocked or pressed, which makes it look bad.
碰傷；撞痕
心理上的挫傷
把瘀青的三個特徵整組搬到內心：沒有明顯外傷、傷在看不見的地方、而且會慢慢好。這是從核心畫面長出來的比喻，不是另一個來源的字。
hurt someone's feelings or pride · verb · B2
to hurt someone's feelings about themselves, so that they feel less proud or less sure of themselves.
傷到（自尊、信心）
