刷動物的毛
這一組就是畫面本身：把毛刷順、刷乾淨。其他所有用法都是從這裡搬出去的。
noun · B2
The work of cleaning and brushing an animal — especially a horse, and also dogs, cats and other animals kept by people.
（替動物）刷洗梳理
核心畫面
Picture a hand with a brush working down a horse's coat: slow, repeated strokes that pull out the dirt, what is sticking up, and leave the whole thing smooth. Everything on this page is that stroke, moved onto something else — onto your own face and clothes, onto a person's career, onto a messy list of work. One warning travels with the image: the same patient smoothing can be aimed at a child by an adult who means harm, and English uses this word for that too.

「grooming」可以想成一隻手拿著刷子，順著馬的毛一下一下往下刷：把髒的帶走，把翹起來的壓平，最後整片變得又順又乾淨。這一頁的每個意思，都是這個刷的動作被搬到別的東西上——搬到自己的臉和衣服上、搬到一個人的職涯上、搬到一份亂掉的工作清單上。同一個「慢慢弄順」的動作，也被用在一件很嚴重的事情上：成年人有計畫地慢慢接近孩子，英文同樣用這個字。Four branches
把自己整理乾淨
刷子從動物身上轉到自己身上：洗澡、頭髮、指甲、衣服，一樣是把亂的地方弄順。
noun · B2
The work of keeping yourself clean and tidy — washing, hair, nails, shaving, and looking after your clothes — thought of as one habit rather than one action.
儀容整理；個人清潔
把一個人「弄成某個樣子」
刷子這次落在人身上：花時間一點一點把一個人修整成某個位子需要的樣子。這條線有明亮的一面，也有黑暗的一面。
noun · C1
The work of teaching and preparing someone over time so that they are ready for a particular job or position, often a higher one.
栽培；為某職位養成
把清單整理乾淨
最後一步，刷子落在一張紙上：把待辦清單刷過一遍，刪掉不需要的，把重要的排前面。
noun · C1
In agile software teams: the regular work of going through the list of jobs still to be done, tidying it, dropping what is no longer needed, and putting the rest in order of what matters most.
（敏捷開發的）待辦清單整理
