Picture the single moment when something crosses from the background into your awareness — you suddenly 'catch' it with your eyes, ears, or feeling. That small act of registering ('oh, there it is') is the seed the whole word grows from: first the verb (you notice it), then the noun (the attention you give, and the paper or warning that exists precisely to be noticed).

可以想成:本來在背景裡的東西,突然「進到你的意識裡」——你的眼睛、耳朵或感覺一下子抓住了它,心裡浮現「啊,有這個」。更多收起可以想成:本來在背景裡的東西,突然「進到你的意識裡」——你的眼睛、耳朵或感覺一下子抓住了它,心裡浮現「啊,有這個」。這個「察覺到」的小動作,就是整個字的種子。動詞先長出來(你 notice 到它),名詞接著長出來:你投注的注意力,以及那些「就是為了讓人看到」而存在的紙張或預告。
