Think of the single moment a baby comes out of its mother and starts to live — the instant something that wasn't here before suddenly exists. Every use of 'born' grows from that moment of coming-into-life: a new idea is born, you seem born for a job (as if you arrived already made for it), or you carry the luck and nature you came into the world with.
From the word’s history
'Born' is the old past participle of 'bear' in the sense 'to carry/bring forth'; to be born is to have been brought forth into life.
born 是動詞 bear(承載、生育)的舊式過去分詞;be born 字面上就是「被生出來、被帶到世上」。所以核心畫面正是被帶進這個世界、開始存在的那一刻。
