喜樂美語

核心畫面

You can picture dizzy as the moment the room starts turning: you have stood up too fast, or you are ill, or you have just looked down from a high balcony — and suddenly the ground will not hold still, so you have to grab something. Everything else the word does grows out of that one body-feeling: what makes you dizzy can be a height, a speed, or your own scattered head.

可以想成房間開始轉起來的那一刻：你站太快、或人不舒服、或剛從高處的陽台往下看——地板忽然不肯乖乖待著，你得抓住什麼才…更多收起可以想成房間開始轉起來的那一刻：你站太快、或人不舒服、或剛從高處的陽台往下看——地板忽然不肯乖乖待著，你得抓住什麼才站得穩。這個字其他的用法都是從這個身體感覺長出去的：讓你暈的可能是高度、可能是速度，也可能是你自己那顆亂糟糟的腦袋。
