核心畫面

The -er on sell points at the one who sells. Start with the obvious picture: a person or shop handing goods over for money. From there the word can slide off the person and onto the goods themselves — a product talked about by how it sells, as if the item were doing the selling.

可以想成 sell(賣)後面加上 -er,指向「賣的那一方」。先抓最直接的畫面:一個人或一家店把東西交出去、收下錢。更多收起可以想成 sell(賣)後面加上 -er,指向「賣的那一方」。先抓最直接的畫面:一個人或一家店把東西交出去、收下錢。再從這個「人」往外滑一步,這個字也能落到商品身上——用「賣得好不好」來講一樣產品,好像是那件東西自己在賣。
