喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Norwegian ski, from Old Norse skíð 'stick of wood, snowshoe'.

借自挪威文 ski，源自古諾斯語 skíð「木條、雪鞋」。

Wiktionary

You can picture one long, thin, narrow strip of wood or plastic, fixed under a boot. Because it is long and flat, the weight spreads out and the thing on top does not sink into the snow — it slides across the surface instead. Everything the word does grows from that one strip that turns sinking into sliding.

可以想成一條又長又窄又薄的木板或塑膠板，固定在鞋底下面。因為它長而平，重量被攤開，上面的東西就不會陷進雪裡，而是貼著表面往前滑。這個字的所有用法都從這條板子長出來：它把「陷下去」變成「滑過去」。所以有時它掛在人腳上，有時裝在小型車輛或小飛機底下，道理完全一樣。
