Think of a hard grey surface that gives nothing back. Push against it and it does not move; look at it and there is nothing there for you. That surface can be a person's face, the front of a building, or the position someone is holding in a fight — the word does not change, only what the hardness belongs to.
可以想成一面又灰又硬的表面，什麼也不回給你。你推它，它不動；你看它，上面沒有東西是給你的。那面表面可以是一個人的臉，可以是一棟樓的外觀，也可以是有人在爭執裡死守的立場。字沒有變，變的只是那塊硬長在什麼上面。
From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary etymology traces dour to Scots dour, possibly from Latin durus 'hard, stern' by way of Middle Irish dur, and lists French dur and Spanish duro as relatives. The hardness in the root is still what every modern use is doing.
來源記錄 dour 借自蘇格蘭語 dour，可能經中古愛爾蘭語 dúr 來自拉丁文 dūrus（硬的、嚴厲的），並列出法文 dur、西班牙文 duro 這些親戚。字根裡的那塊「硬」，就是今天每個用法在做的事。
