在窗外看的人
兩個意思共用窗邊那個人影,差別只在窗子裡面是什麼。
noun · C1
Someone who gets sexual pleasure from secretly watching other people at private, sexual moments.
偷窺者
You can picture someone standing outside in the dark, looking in through a window. The people inside do not know and have not agreed; the is safe, stays outside, and takes something from looking. Both meanings of the word keep that same figure at the window — what changes is what is going on inside.
Borrowed from French voyeur, from voir 'to see' — literally 'one who looks'. English keeps the 'looking' and adds the secrecy through use.
borrowed 自法文 voyeur,來自 voir(看),字面就是「看的人」。「偷偷地」這一層不在字面裡,是英文在使用中把它加上去的。
