Hold the plain picture first: blood coming out and not staying where it should. A cut on a hand, a towel pressed down, someone watching to see whether the flow slows. Everything on this page can be reached from that picture — even the British swear word, where no blood is involved at all and only the heat of it is borrowed.

先抓住最單純的畫面:血正在流出來,沒有待在該待的地方。手上一道傷口,一條毛巾壓著,有人盯著看血有沒有變慢。這一頁上的每個用法,都可以從這個畫面走到——包括英式口語裡那個罵人的加強語;那裡完全沒有血,被借走的只是這個畫面的火氣。
