You can picture a volcano as a mountain with an opening at its top — a hole that goes all the way down to where rock is hot enough to flow. Most of the time nothing happens; then the pressure below finds this one weak point, and what was sealed under the ground comes up through it.

一座山，山頂上開了一個洞，而這個洞不是淺淺的凹陷，是一路通到地底深處、岩石熱到會流動的地方。平常它看起來就是座普通的山，安安靜靜；可是底下的壓力一旦找到這個出口，本來封在地下的東西就從這裡衝上來。所以 volcano 的重點不只是「山」，而是「有出口的山」——一個把地底和地面接起來的洞。也正因為這個「憋著、然後從一個口爆出來」的樣子，英文裡常拿火山來形容人的情緒。原始詞典資料4 筆記錄
