被抱的那一頭
畫面裡被圈在手臂中間的那個東西。差別只在：一個是天生讓人想抱，一個是被人做成可以抱。

A person or animal who is cuddly is soft, warm and gentle in a way that makes you want to put your arms around them and hold them close.
惹人想抱的
核心畫面
Think of one small scene: two arms closing around something soft and warm, and neither side wanting to let go. Cuddly is the adjective for anything standing in that picture. Stand at one end and you get the thing being held — the puppy you want to lift, the bear built so a child can hold it all night. Stand at the other end and you get the one doing the holding — the who climbs on your lap, the cat who walks onto your book. Same hug, different side of it.

可以想成一個很小的畫面：兩隻手臂圈住一個又軟又暖的東西，兩邊都不想放開。cuddly 就是形容站在這個畫面裡的東西。站在被抱的那一頭，就是你想抱起來的小狗，或是特地做成可以抱一整晚的玩偶。站在抱人的那一頭，就是爬上你腿的弟弟，或走到你書上趴著的貓。同一個擁抱，只是站的位置不一樣。From the word’s history
Cuddly is cuddle plus -y, the ending that makes an adjective out of a thing or an action. So the word means, quite literally, having to do with cuddling — and English has let it lean toward whichever side of the cuddle the sentence is about.
cuddly 是 cuddle 加上 -y，而 -y 的作用就是把一個東西或動作變成形容詞。所以它字面上只說了「跟抱有關」。英文後來讓它兩邊都站得住：句子在講哪一頭，它就指哪一頭。

抱人的那一頭
同一個擁抱，換一邊站。這次主動的是對方，字說的是他們的習慣，不是你的感覺。
