1. 1

    “Psst” is less a word with a meaning than a sound. You make a short, quiet through the teeth when you want one person to look at you, but you do not want the whole room to hear. It is what you do in a library, in class, or in a queue when you need a friend’s attention. In stories it is written as dialogue: “Psst! Over here.” Though actually, people also use it as a light verb: she psst-ed at him from the doorway. It is informal, a little secret, and a little rude if you do it to a stranger.

    小聲喚人的「欸」(不是叫人安靜的「噓」)
