核心畫面

The one solid picture under this word is the object: a tall, thick-walled cup with a handle and no , the kind you wrap both hands around. Everything else in this entry sits further away — slang about faces, about people who are easy to fool, and a street-robbery verb — and some of those links back to the cup are not clear, so it is honest to learn them as separate groups.

可以想成:這個字最實在、看得見的那一個就是桌上那只杯子——直筒、有把手、杯壁厚、底下不配小碟子,冷天可以雙手捧著。從更多收起可以想成:這個字最實在、看得見的那一個就是桌上那只杯子——直筒、有把手、杯壁厚、底下不配小碟子,冷天可以雙手捧著。從這裡往外,還有幾群意思:講「臉」的俚語、講「好騙的人」的口語、以及一個「在街上搶劫」的動詞。老實說,這幾群跟杯子之間的來源關係並不清楚,所以與其硬拉一條比喻,不如把它們當成同一個拼法底下要分開記的幾群。
