喜樂美語

核心畫面

You can picture heavy as the feeling of weight pressing down — something that takes real effort to lift or hold up. From that one bodily sensation, the word spreads outward: a lot of anything (so much it 'weighs on' you), hard work that drains you, food or air or a mood that sits heavily, even a big solid-looking person. Almost every sense is the same pressing-down weight, moved from the muscles to the amount, the mind, or the heart.

可以想成：一股往下壓的重量感——要使勁才抬得起、撐得住的那種。整個字就從這一個身體感覺往外擴：份量多到「壓」著你、累…更多收起可以想成：一股往下壓的重量感——要使勁才抬得起、撐得住的那種。整個字就從這一個身體感覺往外擴：份量多到「壓」著你、累人的粗活、油膩的食物、悶住的空氣、沉甸甸的心情，甚至一個壯碩魁梧的人。幾乎每個意思都是同一股下壓的重，只是從肌肉搬到了數量、腦袋，或心上。
