喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Old English ūs, from Proto-Germanic *uns; cognate with German uns and Latin nōs.

源自古英文 ūs，跟德文 uns、拉丁文 nōs 同源。

Wiktionary

The speaker, plus at least one other person, standing together as the people something is done TO or aimed AT — the 'me-and-them' group seen as a target, not as the .

可以想成：說話的「我」再加上身邊一個或更多人，圍成一個小團體，而這個團體是動作落下來的一方——別人在看「我們」、給「我們」、幫「我們」。它跟 we 是同一群人，差別只在 we 是出手的那一方、us 是被指向的那一方（She told us、between us）。
