看起來沒有輕巧感
這一組直接站在核心畫面上：先是動作沒有流暢感，再把同樣的眼光移到不會動的東西上。
adjective · C1
Moving or doing something in a heavy, awkward way, with none of the smoothness that makes a movement look easy.
笨拙不優雅
核心畫面
Watch a dancer cross a stage: every step runs into the next and nothing looks like work. That ease is grace. Graceless can be thought of as the same scene with the ease removed — the steps still get the person across, but now you see every one of them and how heavy each one is. English then lends that picture out, to the way a person treats others and to the shape of a building.
可以想成一個舞者走過舞台：每一步都接著下一步，看不出一點用力。那份輕鬆就是 grace。graceless 可以想成…更多收起
可以想成一個舞者走過舞台：每一步都接著下一步，看不出一點用力。那份輕鬆就是 grace。graceless 可以想成同一個畫面，把那份輕鬆抽掉——腳還是會把人帶到對面，可是你現在看得見每一步，也看得見每一步有多重。英文接著把這張圖借出去用：借給一個人待人的樣子，也借給一棟建築的形狀。所以不管講的是動作、態度還是外形，說的都是同一件事：那份本來會讓人覺得舒服的輕巧，不在了。From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives Middle English graceles, equivalent to grace plus -less. The word has always been simply grace with the grace taken out; what changes between the senses is which kind of grace is missing.
Wiktionary 記的是中古英文 graceles，等於 grace 加上 -less。這個字從頭到尾就是「grace 被拿掉」。各個意思之間變的不是結構，而是被拿掉的是哪一種 grace。

Three branches
待人沒有大方
英文的 grace 除了動作的輕巧，也有待人的好意。這一組拿掉的是後面那一層：場面需要一點大方，那點大方沒有出現。
adjective · C1
Behaving in a rude, ungrateful way, especially towards someone who has been kind to you, or towards someone who has just beaten you fairly.
沒風度
沒有神的恩典
這一組要換一張圖才說得通：宗教英文裡的 grace 不是動作，也不是風度，而是神給的東西。把它硬掛回舞者的畫面會失真，所以另外給它一張圖。
adjective · C2
Without the grace of God: used in older religious writing about a person who is seen as wicked, or as living outside God's help.
沒有神恩的
