Picture a leather jacket with rows of small metal dots pushed into it. Each dot sits on its own, you can see it and feel it, and there are a lot of them spread across the whole surface. That is what studded shows you. Once you hold that picture, the word travels: the dots can be jewels on a watch, metal in a winter tyre, stars across the night sky, islands across a lake, or jokes across a speech. Same three things every time — many of them, each one separate, spread over the whole thing.

可以想成一件皮夾克,上面壓著一排排小小的金屬圓釘。每一顆都各自獨立,看得到也摸得到,而且整片表面上到處都是。這就是 studded 給你的畫面。抓住這個畫面之後,這個字就能走很遠:那些「釘子」可以是錶上的碎鑽、雪胎上的防滑釘,也可以是夜空裡的星星、湖上的小島,甚至演講裡一段一段的笑話。每一次要的都是同三件事——數量多、一顆一顆分開、散滿整片。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary derives it as stud + -ed, the ordinary English way of turning a thing into an adjective meaning having many of that thing.

資料來源把它記成 stud(金屬圓釘)加上 -ed。英文常用這個方式把一個名詞變成形容詞,意思是「身上帶著那樣東西」,所以整個字的重心從頭到尾都在那些小圓釘上。
