核心畫面

One way to picture passion: a feeling burning hot enough to move you — too big to sit quietly inside. English aims that heat in several directions: at a cause you believe in, at a person you love, at an activity you cannot get enough of, and in older writing, at a flash of anger.

可以想成 passion 是「燒得夠旺、足以推著你動起來」的一股情感——大到沒辦法安安靜靜待在心裡。英文把這股熱度指更多收起可以想成 passion 是「燒得夠旺、足以推著你動起來」的一股情感——大到沒辦法安安靜靜待在心裡。英文把這股熱度指向好幾個方向:一個你相信的理念、一個你愛的人、一件你怎麼做都不膩的事,而在較舊的文字裡,還可以是一陣爆發的怒氣。
