核心畫面

The little word up is the whole picture. Think of filled up, topped up, warmed up: up means poured in until it reaches the brim. Someone who is loved-up is not just in love, they are full of it, and it is running over the edge into how they look — the smiling, the photos, the arm that will not come off a shoulder. The two uses differ only in where all that overflow is pointed: at one person, or at a whole room of strangers.

可以想成整個畫面就藏在後面那個 up 裡。像 filled up、topped up、warmed up 那樣,up更多收起可以想成整個畫面就藏在後面那個 up 裡。像 filled up、topped up、warmed up 那樣,up 表示一直加、加到滿出來。所以 loved-up 的人不只是戀愛中,而是被愛裝滿了,滿到從表情、照片、那隻捨不得放下的手上溢出來。兩個意思的差別只在這些滿出來的東西流向哪裡:流向一個人,或是流向整個場子裡的陌生人。

Two branches

滿出來給一個人

愛滿到藏不住,而且全部朝著同一個人去,所以旁人一眼就看得出來。

adjective · C1

Full of romantic love for someone, and showing it — the way a couple looks when they cannot stop smiling at each other. It is a light, informal word, used much more in British English, and very often about how a couple looks in photos.

熱戀中的

滿出來給整個場子

同樣是滿到溢出來,只是不再對準一個人,而是朝全場散開,連不認識的人都算在內。

adjective · C1

Feeling warm and full of love towards everyone around you, not towards one person. In British slang this is said about people at a club or a festival who are in that state because they have taken the illegal drug ecstasy (MDMA).

(對誰都)愛意滿滿的
