Think of a knock that doesn't break the skin: nothing is cut open, nothing bleeds outward, but underneath the surface something was crushed — and a day later a dark purple mark appears, showing where the damage happened.

撞了一下,表面卻沒有破。沒有傷口、沒有流血,可是皮膚底下的細小血管被壓破了,血滲進周圍的組織——過一天,一塊紫青色的印子浮上來,指出剛才受傷的位置。bruise 的特別之處就在這裡:傷害是內部的,痕跡是後來才顯現的,而且它會自己慢慢褪掉。
