1. 1v/dʌɡ/挖(dig 的過去式/過去分詞)

    The past tense and past participle of dig: used when someone made a hole in the ground or moved earth, took something out of the ground, or pushed a hand deep into something to look for what was inside.

    「dug」是 dig 的過去式,也是過去分詞——dig-dug-dug,後面兩個長得一模一樣,所以 We dug a hole、We have dug a hole、The hole was dug 用的都是同一個 dug。dig 可以想成「把手或工具伸進去,再把裡面的東西弄出來」:伸進泥土裡就是挖洞(dug a hole)、把紅蘿蔔挖起來(dug up the carrots);如果伸進包包裡東翻西找,英文還是用同一個字(dug around in her bag),只是沒有泥土而已。它是不規則動詞,沒有 digged 這個寫法。

core核心畫面

Dug is not a word with its own meaning — it is dig, already finished. So the picture to hold is dig's picture, set in the past: a hand or a going down into something and moving what was there aside, to make a hole, to bring something up, or to feel around for what is buried. 'They dug a hole', 'she dug in her bag for the keys' — same movement, one already done.

dug 沒有自己的意思,它就是 dig 的「已經做完」版本。所以要記的畫面還是 dig 的畫面:一把鏟子或一隻手往下伸進去,把原本擋在那裡的東西撥開——可能是為了挖出一個洞,可能是為了把埋著的東西弄出來,也可能只是伸進包包裡摸找鑰匙。可以想成「往下、撥開、找出來」這一個動作,只是時間點已經過去了。
