拉出來的那個盒子
核心畫面本身:家具上那個會滑出來的格子。
desk drawer · noun · A2
A part of a desk, table, or other furniture that you pull out and push in to keep things in.
抽屜
You can picture a box that lives inside a piece of furniture and slides out when you pull it. The word is really the verb draw ('pull') turned into a thing, named after the one move it makes: you draw it out, you push it back.
Attested from the 1570s as an agent noun from draw — 'a box-shaped receptacle that can be drawn or pulled out of a cabinet, bureau, table, etc., by sliding it horizontally'. Earlier, drawer had meant 'one who draws water from a well' (mid-14c.).
1570 年代就有這個用法,是從動詞 draw 造出來的名詞,指「可以從櫃子、書桌裡水平拉出來的盒狀容器」。更早(14 世紀中)drawer 指的是「打水的人」,也就是「拉的人」。所以家具的抽屜和「拉」是同一件事,看到 draw 就想得到它。

這個意思今天幾乎只出現在老小說或開玩笑的場合。它和抽屜之間的來源關係無法確定,所以當成同一個字形的老用法記著就好,不必硬接回「拉」的畫面。
