核心畫面

At the bottom of mount is the picture of going up — rising up a slope, step by step, the way you climb a hill. From that one upward movement the word spreads three ways: rising onto something (a horse, a ), rising in amount (a total mounting up), and setting something up high or firmly in place (mounting a picture, mounting a campaign). The noun 'Mount' is the hill itself.

可以想成:mount 底層是「往上」的畫面——沿著坡一階一階登高,就像爬一座山。從這個向上的動作,字往三個方向散開:更多收起可以想成:mount 底層是「往上」的畫面——沿著坡一階一階登高,就像爬一座山。從這個向上的動作,字往三個方向散開:往上爬到某個東西上(馬背、樓梯)、數量往上累積(總數越疊越高)、把東西架高或穩穩固定在位置上(裱框、架設、發起一場行動)。名詞的 Mount 則直接就是那座山本身。
