核心畫面

You can picture injury as a wound to the body: a sudden accident or a blow lands, and something in you gets torn, broken, or hurt — a cut knee, a twisted ankle, a broken arm. The basic image is damage done to living tissue, the kind a doctor can see and treat.

可以把 injury 想成身體上的一道傷:一場意外、或一記撞擊落下來,身上某個地方被撕裂、折斷、弄傷了——擦破的膝蓋更多收起可以把 injury 想成身體上的一道傷:一場意外、或一記撞擊落下來,身上某個地方被撕裂、折斷、弄傷了——擦破的膝蓋、扭到的腳踝、斷掉的手臂。核心畫面比較像『活生生的肉體上被弄出的損傷』,是醫生看得到、也能處理的那種傷。
