核心畫面

Think of something being lifted up onto a bigger thing and then staying there: a rider onto a horse, a speaker onto a wall, a statue onto a base. The picture is not the lifting itself but what comes after it. The thing is up there, it is held, and it does not slide off.

可以想成「被抬上去,然後就待在那裡」。畫面裡先有一個更大的東西當底:一匹馬、一面牆、一座底座。再把人或物放上去、扣穩更多收起可以想成「被抬上去,然後就待在那裡」。畫面裡先有一個更大的東西當底:一匹馬、一面牆、一座底座。再把人或物放上去、扣穩。重點不在放上去的那一下,而在放上去之後——它穩穩停在上面,不會再滑動。mounted 這個字給人的感覺,就是這個「已經上去而且固定住」的狀態。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary records mounted as mount + -ed, that is, the state of having been mounted.

來源資料把 mounted 記成 mount 加上 -ed,也就是「已經被架上去/登上去」的狀態,正好對上「上去之後停在那裡」這個畫面。
