核心畫面
You can picture persecute as someone walking behind you and never stopping. You turn a corner, they turn too. You change jobs, change towns, and they are still there. It is not one blow; it is the that never fall away.
可以想成：有人一路走在你後面，而且從來不停。你轉彎，他也轉彎；你換工作、換城市，他還在。這個字的重量不在某一次的傷害…更多收起
可以想成：有人一路走在你後面，而且從來不停。你轉彎，他也轉彎；你換工作、換城市，他還在。這個字的重量不在某一次的傷害，而在那個「永遠甩不掉」的腳步聲。三種用法都是同一個畫面，只是被追的對象不一樣。From the word’s history
Persecute goes back to Latin persequor, from per- (through, all the way) plus sequor (to follow), so the word literally says to follow all the way. English sequel and the word prosecute come from the same root.
persecute 來自拉丁文 persequor：per-（一路、徹底）加上 sequor（跟隨），字面上就是「一路追到底」。英文的 sequel（續集）和 prosecute（起訴）都是同一個字根。知道這一點，就能理解為什麼這個字的重點永遠是「持續」而不是「一次」。
