守著「屬於我的」人事物
核心那股「守」的熱度,向內收——護著自己已經擁有、在乎的東西。
envious of attention · adjective · B1
Feeling angry or upset because someone you love seems to like or notice another person.
吃醋的
You can picture a heated feeling of guarding: you treat some person or thing as 'mine', and the moment someone else moves in on it — or has the thing you want — something tightens inside. Around a loved one it comes out as the when they seem to notice someone else.
Jealous comes through Old French from Late Latin zelosus, from zelus 'zeal', from Greek zēlos 'ardor, eager rivalry' — the same root that gives us 'zealous'. That inner heat is the thread: jealousy is zeal turned toward keeping (or wanting) something you feel should be yours.
jealous 經古法語來自晚期拉丁文 zelosus,源於 zelus「熱忱」,再往上是希臘文 zēlos「熱切、爭勝之心」——跟 zealous(熱心的)同一個根。那股「心裡的熱」就是貫穿的線:嫉妒其實是把這股熱勁,轉向去守住、或去爭取一樣你覺得該屬於自己的東西。
