核心畫面

One way to hold mashed: something has been pressed down hard, again and again, until the shape it used to have is gone. A boiled potato under a fork stops being a potato and becomes a soft, smooth heap. Nothing inside it is holding it up any more. That picture of being pressed until you cannot keep your shape is the thread that runs through the word.

mashed 的核心畫面可以想成:一樣東西被往下壓,一次又一次,壓到原本的形狀整個散掉。煮軟的馬鈴薯在叉子底下不再是更多收起mashed 的核心畫面可以想成:一樣東西被往下壓,一次又一次,壓到原本的形狀整個散掉。煮軟的馬鈴薯在叉子底下不再是一顆馬鈴薯,變成軟軟滑滑的一坨。裡面撐住它的東西都沒有了。「被壓到撐不住形狀」這個畫面,就是這個字兩個意思共用的那條線。
