One way to picture it: something has crossed out of the human circle. Whatever warmth, pity, or familiar shape we expect from a person simply isn't there — and what's left feels wrong to us precisely because we measured it against a person.

有個東西已經跨出了「人」的那個圈子。我們對一個人本來有些最低限度的預期——看到別人痛會不忍、聲音聽起來像人在說話、動作像人在動——而 inhuman 就是這些預期全部落空的感覺。重點不在它有多壞或多可怕，而在於它「不再算是人的那一類」；正因為我們是拿人當尺去量它，落空時才會這麼刺。in- 是否定，human 是人，合起來就是把人性那一格劃掉。From the word’s history
English inhuman comes through Middle English inhumayne and Middle French inhumain from Latin inhūmānus — in- 'not' + hūmānus 'human'. The word is literally the negation of 'human', which is why both modern senses are read against a human standard.
inhuman 經中古英語 inhumayne、中古法語 inhumain 來自拉丁語 inhūmānus，就是 in-（不）加上 hūmānus（人的）。字面上它單純是「human」的否定，所以今天兩個用法都還是拿「人應該是什麼樣子」當隱形的標準：一個否定的是人心，一個否定的是人形人聲。
