    「bought」是動詞 buy(買)的過去式和過去分詞,用在已經發生的「買」這個動作上。可以想成「buy 的過去版」——今天 buy,昨天就是 bought。它的拼字不規則(不是 buyed),發音是 /bɔːt/,和 brought(bring 的過去式)只差一個字母,很容易看錯。

core核心畫面

You can think of 'bought' simply as 'buy' with the action already finished — the money has changed hands, and the thing is now yours.

可以想成就是 buy 的「已完成」版本:錢已經付出去了,東西已經到手,整件交易發生在過去。所以它本身不是一個新意思,而是 buy 這個動作的過去時間點。
