核心畫面

You could picture it as one fast, hard sweep of something sharp: the arm swings, the blade goes through, and it leaves a long thin line behind. Three things come as a set — the violent speed, the diagonal sweep, and the long cut that stays.

比較像：手臂一揮，刀鋒又快又用力地掃過去，留下一道長長細細的痕。這裡有三樣東西是綁在一起的——那股狠勁與速度、那個斜…更多收起比較像：手臂一揮，刀鋒又快又用力地掃過去，留下一道長長細細的痕。這裡有三樣東西是綁在一起的——那股狠勁與速度、那個斜斜掃過的動作，還有事後留在那裡的長條傷口。slash 的各種用法，幾乎都是在強調其中一樣：有時強調揮的那一下，有時強調留下的那條線，有時只是借那股「一刀砍下去」的狠勁來講別的事。

Four branches

揮刀砍下去（動作）

這一組看的是核心畫面裡「揮」的那一瞬間——不管用動詞說還是用名詞說。

cut forcefully · verb · B2

To cut something, or try to cut it, quickly and with a lot of force, using a knife, a sword, or something else sharp. The cut it leaves is usually long and thin.

劃破；砍

留下的那道長痕

刀揮過去之後，留在那裡的東西：一條又長又窄的線。從真的傷口，一路延伸到書寫符號上那條斜線。

a long narrow cut · noun · B2

A long, narrow cut in something. It can be made on purpose, like the cuts on top of a loaf of bread, or by accident, like a tear in a tent.

長長的切口；裂口

借那股狠勁講數字

把砍東西的那股速度和狠勁，搬到價格和預算上——不是慢慢調降，而是一刀砍下去。

cut drastically (prices, numbers) · verb · B2

To make an amount, a price, or a number much smaller than before. It is used especially in newspapers and in advertisements, where it sounds fast and dramatic.

大砍；大幅削減

只活在固定片語裡的用法

這兩個意思都不能拆開看：單獨的 slash 不帶這些意思，是整串話一起才有的。

slash your wrists · verb · C1

Only in the fixed phrase 'slash your wrists': to cut your own wrists in order to try to end your own life. Slash does not carry this meaning on its own — it needs the whole phrase.

割腕（自殺）
