核心畫面

One way to hold this `peaked` is as a face with the colour gone out of it. Not a diagnosis — a look. The person at breakfast whose hands are around a hot cup, the off the overnight flight. Something has been taken out of them and it shows on the outside, which is why the word so often arrives as a question: you look peaked, are you all right?

這個 peaked 可以想成一張「被抽掉血色」的臉。它不是診斷,是印象。早餐桌上雙手捧著熱杯子的那個人;下了紅眼班機更多收起這個 peaked 可以想成一張「被抽掉血色」的臉。它不是診斷,是印象。早餐桌上雙手捧著熱杯子的那個人;下了紅眼班機的那一群人。他們身上少了什麼,而那個少,是從外表看出來的。所以這個字很常後面跟著一句關心的問話:你臉色好差,還好嗎?也因為它只講外表,說話的人其實還不知道原因,語氣才會這麼輕、這麼常配上 a little。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary files this adjective under a second, separate etymology of peak (etymology 2), away from the mountain-top word, and glosses it 'Sickly-looking, peaky'. The packet also records the pronunciation spelling pekid pointing back to it.

維基詞典把這個形容詞放在 peak 的第二條字源底下,和「山頂」的那條分開,解釋成 sickly-looking、peaky。同一份資料裡還收了一個照音拼寫的形式 pekid,指回這個字。這兩點合起來剛好說明了它為什麼唸成兩個音節。

Wiktionary entry `peaked`, etymology_number 2 (evidence packet source_ref kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:1040097440:1944), plus the alt_of relation `pekid` → `peaked` (pronunciation-spelling)

核心畫面

One way to hold this `peaked` is as a shape with something sticking out of it. Peak + -ed, the same build as or : it has a peak. Sometimes that peak is on top — a wizard's tall hat, a steep roof. Most often it is at the front: the stiff curved piece over a driver's or a guard's eyes.

這個 peaked 可以想成一個「有東西突出來」的形狀。它的做法是 peak(尖端、突出的部分)加 -ed(有…的)更多收起這個 peaked 可以想成一個「有東西突出來」的形狀。它的做法是 peak(尖端、突出的部分)加 -ed(有…的),跟 bearded(有鬍子的)、winged(有翅膀的)是同一套。突出的地方有時候在上面,像巫師的高尖帽、陡陡的屋頂。更常見的是在前面:司機或警衛帽子上那片硬硬的、彎彎的帽舌,剛好擋在眼睛上方。所以聽到 peaked cap,先在腦中找那片帽舌,意思就到位了。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary gives this adjective as etymology 1 and points it straight back to peak; the modern form reads transparently as peak + -ed.

維基詞典把這個形容詞列為第一條字源,並直接指回 peak。所以它的組成是透明的:peak 加 -ed,字面就是「有一個 peak 的」。
