You can picture 'release' as your hand opening to let something go that you were holding back. Whatever was held — a prisoner, your grip, anger, gas in a tank, a piece of news, a brake — is now allowed to move out into the open. The verb is the act of letting go; the noun is either that act or the thing/feeling that has just been let out.

可以把 release 想成「鬆開手，把原本扣住的東西放出去」。本來被攔著的——關著的人、握緊的手、憋住的怒氣、罐子裡的氣體、還沒公開的消息、踩著的煞車——現在被放開，往外面跑出去。動詞是「放開」這個動作，名詞則是這個動作本身，或是剛被放出來的東西／感覺。原始詞典資料26 筆記錄
