核心畫面

You can think of treat as how your hands and attitude meet a person or thing: you take someone or something and you handle it in a chosen way. From 'how you handle it' grow two branches — handling people/things in a certain manner (treat kindly, treat a wound, treat a surface), and the warm version of handling: doing something special and pleasing for someone, which is itself called a treat.

可以想成 treat 是「你用某種方式去對待、去處理眼前的人或東西」——你伸手接過一個人或一件事，然後選一種方式去待…更多收起可以想成 treat 是「你用某種方式去對待、去處理眼前的人或東西」——你伸手接過一個人或一件事，然後選一種方式去待它。從「怎麼待它」延伸出兩個方向：一是用某種態度或手法去處理（好好對待、醫治傷口、加工表面），二是這份對待的溫暖版本——特地為某人做件開心的好事，這件好事本身就被叫做 a treat。
