抬起來、翹起來
轉上去的是正面或末端,所以東西本身還是正的,只是朝上了。
adjective · B2
Pointing or tilted up towards the sky — used about a face lifted to look at someone, hands held out with the palms up, or a nose, a collar or a corner that curves up at the end.
朝上的、上翹的
One way to hold upturned is to picture something being rotated until one of its surfaces ends up facing the sky. The word tells you the turn happened; it leaves you to work out which surface won. Tip a face back and the front of it aims up, so you get an upturned face looking at . Curve the end of a nose or a roof and only that small tip aims up. Roll a box right over and it is the that ends up on top, so the whole box is upside down. Same turn every time, different part of the thing pointing at the sky — and that single difference is what splits the word into its two meanings.
The word is up- plus turned: the direction plus the action. Everything the adjective does is still just that, with the noun telling you which part of the thing got turned upward.
這個字就是 up-(方向)加上 turned(動作),字面上就是「被轉成朝上」。今天的兩個意思都還在這個字面裡,差別只在後面的名詞告訴你:轉上去的是哪一面。
