可以想成一隻褐色的小鳥，胸前一點一點的斑紋。牠站在樹梢，把同一段短短的旋律唱了又唱。身體不大，聲音卻很亮，整個花園都聽得到。這個「會唱歌的斑胸小鳥」的畫面，大概就是 thrush 的起點。From the word’s history
The bird name goes back through Old English to a very old Indo-European word for this same bird, and it has close relatives in German, Latin and Russian. So the picture has stayed the same for a very long time.
這個鳥名可以從古英語一路往回追到印歐語詞根 *trosdos（鶇）。德文 Drossel、拉丁文 turdus、俄文 дрозд 都是同一條線上的親戚。幾千年下來，它指的一直是同一種鳥，畫面幾乎沒有移動過。
