喜樂美語

核心畫面

Two unrelated things share this spelling. The noun is a farm picture: a big tidy stack of hay standing in a field, waiting to be used. The verb is a body picture: the small wrench you give your neck or back when you turn the wrong way. There is no image that joins them, so it is cleaner to learn them as two separate words that happen to look the same.

這個拼法底下其實有兩樣不相干的東西。名詞是農地上的畫面：田裡堆得整整齊齊的一大垛乾草，等著農夫來用。動詞是身體上的畫…更多收起這個拼法底下其實有兩樣不相干的東西。名詞是農地上的畫面：田裡堆得整整齊齊的一大垛乾草，等著農夫來用。動詞是身體上的畫面：轉身角度不對，脖子或腰「閃」了一下。兩者之間沒有可以共用的畫面，所以把它們當成剛好長得一樣的兩個字來記，會比硬去找關聯來得清楚。

From the picture

扭到脖子或腰

這一支和乾草垛沒有可以連起來的畫面；它們是兩個獨立的詞，兩者是否同源也不清楚，所以這裡不硬套一個比喻。
