喜樂美語

核心畫面

Think of something suddenly bursting up or leaping out — a tight thing held down, then released, shooting up and forward. A cat crouches and then springs; that quick upward burst is the heart of the word.

可以想成「被壓住的東西，一放開就猛地往上、往外彈出來」。像一隻貓蹲低、再猛然一躍，那種突然爆發、向上向前竄出的動作，…更多收起可以想成「被壓住的東西，一放開就猛地往上、往外彈出來」。像一隻貓蹲低、再猛然一躍，那種突然爆發、向上向前竄出的動作，就是這個字的核心畫面。許多看似無關的意思（泉水、彈簧、季節、突然想到），其實都從這個「猛然湧出 / 彈出」的畫面長出來。
