核心畫面

One way to picture resound: a big low sound is made once — a bell, a horn, a drum — and it does not stop where it started. It spreads out, hits the walls or the , and comes back, so it is still ringing after the thing that made it has gone quiet. Everything the word does grows out of that one moment: the space that gets filled by it, and the event whose name keeps coming back to people years later.

可以想成一個又大又低的聲音響了一下——鐘、號角、大鼓——然後它不會停在原地。它散開來,撞到牆或山壁,再彈回來,所以發更多收起可以想成一個又大又低的聲音響了一下——鐘、號角、大鼓——然後它不會停在原地。它散開來,撞到牆或山壁,再彈回來,所以發出聲音的東西早就安靜了,聲音卻還在響。這個字的每一種用法都從這一刻長出來:被聲音灌滿的那個空間,還有那件多年後名字還一直被提起的大事。要注意的是,另外還有一個拼法很像的 re-sound,走的是完全不同的路。

From the word’s history

From Old French resoner and its source Latin resonāre, from re- 'again' plus sonāre 'to sound'. The word literally says 'to sound again', which is exactly the picture of a sound coming back off a wall.

來自古法文 resoner,再往上是拉丁文 resonāre:re-(再一次)加 sonāre(發出聲音)。字面就是「再響一遍」,正好是聲音撞到牆又彈回來的那個畫面。
