核心畫面

A long walk taken on purpose — boots, a trail, hours of it, out in the hills. That is the everyday picture. The price-raising uses do not grow out of that walk; Etymonline traces them to a separate 'pull up / raise' line, so it is safer to learn them as two things that happen to share a spelling.

可以想成:刻意走的一段長路——穿上鞋、走進山裡、一走好幾個小時。這是這個字最日常的畫面。至於「漲價」那組用法,其實不更多收起可以想成:刻意走的一段長路——穿上鞋、走進山裡、一走好幾個小時。這是這個字最日常的畫面。至於「漲價」那組用法,其實不是從走路長出來的:Etymonline 把它追到另一條「往上拉」的線上,所以與其硬找比喻,不如當成兩件剛好拼法相同的事分開記。

From the word’s history

Etymonline records hike 'to walk vigorously' from 1809 (English dialect, origin unknown), while the 'raise (wages)' sense appears 1867 and 'pull up (as trousers)' 1873, the latter possibly a variant of hitch.

根據 Etymonline,hike 表示「用力走路」是 1809 年的方言用法,來源不明;而「調高(工資)」的意思 1867 年才出現,「把(褲子)往上拉」則是 1873 年,後者可能是 hitch 的變體。也就是說,健行和漲價這兩組意思在來源上是分開的。

把數字往上拉

這一組跟走路沒有明顯的比喻關係,來源另成一線;學的時候把它當成獨立的一個字比較不會混。
