n, v核心畫面
You can think of this jibe as a small sharp thing thrown sideways at a person. It is not thrown to hurt the body. It is thrown so that the people standing nearby will laugh at that person. It is short, it is quick, and it costs the thrower almost nothing — which is why English so often calls it cheap.
這個 jibe 可以想成一個往旁邊丟出去的小尖東西。丟的目的不是要打傷人。是要讓旁邊的人笑那個被丟的人。它很短、很快…更多收起
這個 jibe 可以想成一個往旁邊丟出去的小尖東西。丟的目的不是要打傷人。是要讓旁邊的人笑那個被丟的人。它很短、很快，丟的人幾乎不花力氣。英文常說 a cheap jibe，「廉價」講的就是這件事：講這種話一點都不費事，也顯不出什麼本事。整組意思都圍著這個畫面轉——名詞是那顆被丟出去的東西，動詞是丟出去的那個動作。From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary note says the origin is uncertain, but possibly Old French giber, to play roughly in sport. If that line is right, the modern word sits where rough play tips over into something that stings.
字典的來源說明寫著「不確定」，只提到一個可能：古法文 giber，意思是粗魯地鬧著玩。如果照這條線索想，jibe 就站在「玩鬧」跟「扎人」的交界上——還在笑，但已經有人被弄痛了。因為來源本身就不確定，這只能當記憶的線索。

This is a different word that happens to be spelled the same way. You can think of it as two sheets held up to the light, one on top of the other, to see whether the lines fall on top of each other. When they do, the two accounts jibe.
這是另一個字，只是剛好拼法一樣。可以想成把兩張紙疊起來對著光看。看兩張紙上的線條是不是壓在一起。壓得剛剛好，就是 j…更多收起
這是另一個字，只是剛好拼法一樣。可以想成把兩張紙疊起來對著光看。看兩張紙上的線條是不是壓在一起。壓得剛剛好，就是 jibe with。日期對得上、數字對得上、細節對得上，中間沒有互相打架的地方。實際用起來最常是否定的：doesn't jibe with the facts，意思是兩張紙疊起來對不齊。From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary note says the origin is unknown, and offers one guess: a link to chime, to sound together in harmony. If that guess holds, two accounts that jibe are two notes that sit well together.
字典寫的是「來源不明」，只提出一個猜想：可能跟 chime（和諧地一起響）有關。如果照這個猜想想，兩份說法 jibe，就像兩個音疊在一起很合。因為來源本身就不確定，這只是記憶用的線索，不是事實。
