Picture the pile in the corner of a garage: things that still exist but have stopped being worth anything to anyone. That judgement — no value left — is the word, and it travels easily from objects to food, and from a noun to a verb. One sense in this entry is a different word altogether: a Chinese sailing ship, which arrived in English by a separate route.

可以想成:車庫角落堆著的那一疊——東西還在,只是對誰都不再有價值了。那個判斷(沒價值了)就是這個字,而且很容易從物品更多收起可以想成:車庫角落堆著的那一疊——東西還在,只是對誰都不再有價值了。那個判斷(沒價值了)就是這個字,而且很容易從物品移到食物,從名詞移到動詞。要注意有一個意思其實是另一個字:中式帆船——它是循另一條路進入英文的。

這一支和「破爛」沒有關係,是另一條路進入英文的字,只是拼法碰巧相同。
