把心裡的事交出去
核心畫面本身：交出去的是心裡的東西。
verb · B2
To tell someone you trust about something private, worrying or personal, because you believe they will keep it to themselves.
吐露；傾訴
核心畫面
Think of confide as handing something over into a pair of hands you have chosen. You are holding something you do not want everyone to have — a worry, a plan, a piece of bad news — and instead of putting it down in public you give it to one person and let go. The whole weight of the word sits in that choice: not who is nearby, but who you trust. Once the picture is hands rather than words, the second, formal use follows easily, because hands can hold money, papers or the care of a shop just as well as a secret.
可以把 confide 想成「交到一雙你挑過的手上」。你手裡有一樣不想讓大家碰的東西：一個煩惱、一個打算、一個壞消息…更多收起
可以把 confide 想成「交到一雙你挑過的手上」。你手裡有一樣不想讓大家碰的東西：一個煩惱、一個打算、一個壞消息。你沒有把它放在公開的地方，而是交給一個人，然後放手。這個字的重量全在那個「挑」上——不是誰剛好在旁邊，而是你信誰。一旦畫面從「講話」換成「交出去」，第二個比較正式的意思就很好接了。因為那雙手一樣可以接住錢、文件，或一家店的照顧。From the word’s history
The source entry traces confide to Latin confīdere, from con- ('together') plus fidēre ('to trust'), a doublet of faith and fidelity. Trust is literally inside the word, which is why both English uses — telling a secret and handing over something valuable — turn on the same thing.
詞源資料把 confide 追到拉丁文 confīdere：con-（一起）加上 fidēre（信任），並說它和 faith、fidelity 同源。信任這件事就寫在字裡面。這也解釋了英文裡的兩個用法為什麼會長在一起：說出秘密，和交出貴重的東西，靠的都是同一件事。
