核心畫面
Picture a hand that reaches out, closes on something, and carries it off. Two things are always in the picture: the taking is by force, and what was taken does not stay where it was. That one movement is behind everything this word does. It can fall on treasure, on a person, on a , or on your own attention when something is too beautiful to look away from.

可以想成一隻手伸過來，抓住東西，然後帶著走。這個畫面裡一直有兩件事：用強的，而且東西不會留在原地。ravish 的每一種用法，都在做這一個動作。被帶走的可以是財寶、可以是人、可以是一片山坡，也可以是你的注意力——當某樣東西美到你移不開眼。這個字在英文裡份量很重，因為它大半的歷史都落在這個動作陰暗的那一面。From the word’s history
Ravish came through Anglo-Norman and Old French ravir, to seize or to take away hastily, from Latin rapere. The same Latin verb lies behind rape. That is why the seizing picture sits under every branch, including the one about beauty.
ravish 經盎格魯諾曼語和古法文 ravir（抓住、匆匆帶走）而來，源頭是拉丁文 rapere；rape 也來自同一個字。這就是為什麼「抓走」的畫面在每一支用法底下都找得到，連講美的那一支也一樣。
