身體上的痛

noun · B1
Pain that children and young people feel in their arms and legs while their bodies are growing.
生長痛
核心畫面
Think of a child whose body is getting taller faster than it can settle into. At night the arms and legs , and yet nothing is broken and nothing is ill: the simply comes with growing. English keeps that picture and lends it out. Whenever something is getting bigger fast and hurting a little on the way, the trouble can be called its growing pains, with the quiet promise that it will pass.
可以想成一個正在抽高的身體。它長得比自己能適應的還快，到了晚上手腳就會痠。沒有受傷，也沒有生病，這個痛就只是「長大」…更多收起
可以想成一個正在抽高的身體。它長得比自己能適應的還快，到了晚上手腳就會痠。沒有受傷，也沒有生病，這個痛就只是「長大」附帶的。英文把這個畫面借了出去。一個人在長大、一間公司在變大，路上出現的麻煩，都可以叫 growing pains。這個詞也順便帶著一個語氣：痛歸痛，會過去。Two branches
長大帶來的麻煩（比喻）
痛從身體移到處境：不是骨頭在痠，而是一個人或一個組織在變大時到處卡住。畫面裡「長太快、還沒跟上」這一點被完整保留下來。
