被佔住的心思
兩個意思都站在同一張被佔住的椅子旁邊,差別只在你看的是「位子被佔住」還是「佔住位子的那件事」。
noun · C1
The state of thinking or worrying about one thing so much that you give little attention to anything else. The thing that fills your mind usually follows the word 'with'.
滿腦子想著某事
One chair in your mind. Something has already sat down on it, and it will not get up. Everything else that wants your attention has to wait outside the door.
Borrowed from Middle French preoccupation, from Latin praeoccupatio; by surface analysis pre- plus occupation. The older picture is taking a place before anyone else can.
來源資料把它拆成 pre-(事先)加 occupation(佔住),並指出它借自中古法文 préoccupation、拉丁文 praeoccupātiō。原本的畫面是「搶先一步把位子佔下來」,今天用在心思上,就是某件事搶先佔走了你的注意力。
