核心畫面

One quick throw . Something is held inside, pressure builds, and then it is sent out all at once — not poured, not leaked, thrown. The word does not care much what is thrown: a body can throw fluid out, and in older books a surprised person throws a word out of their mouth the same way.

可以想成往外猛地一扔。東西本來關在裡面,壓力積起來,然後一下子送出去——不是慢慢倒,也不是漏出來,是扔出去。這個字其更多收起可以想成往外猛地一扔。東西本來關在裡面,壓力積起來,然後一下子送出去——不是慢慢倒,也不是漏出來,是扔出去。這個字其實不太在意扔的是什麼:身體可以把液體扔出去,舊小說裡一個被嚇到的人,也是用同樣的方式把一句話從嘴裡扔出來。

From the word’s history

The packet's Wiktionary etymology tree runs through Latin ex / e- 'out' and iacio 'to throw' (with iaculum, a thing for throwing). That throwing-out is still the shape of every use in the entry.

來源的字源樹經過拉丁文 ex/ē-(向外)和 iaciō(丟、投擲),還有 iaculum(用來投擲的東西)。這個「往外扔」的動作,就是這個字每個用法今天還在做的事。
