東西移不動
這一支的「推」是真的用手推,推不動的是看得見的東西。
adjective · B2
Impossible to move, either because the thing is far too heavy or because it is fixed firmly in place.
推不動的、固定不動的
One way to hold immovable is to picture yourself pushing something and nothing happening at all. The push can be a hand against a rock, an argument against a decision, or bad news against a person's face — and in every case the thing you pushed is exactly where it was. The word never says the push was weak. It says the other side did not shift.
Wiktionary records it as im- plus movable, from Middle English immevable. The prefix simply switches off the verb move, which is why one word covers a rock, a decision, a face and a piece of land.
Wiktionary 記的是 im-(不)加上 movable(可以移動的),來自中古英語 immevable。這個字首等於把 move 直接關掉——所以同一個字可以用在石頭、決定、表情和土地上。
