Catching is catch with -ing on the end, so think of something that gets hold of people: it is thrown out by one person and the people nearby catch it without meaning to.
catching 是 catch（接住、抓住）加上 -ing，可以想成「會把人抓住的東西」。畫面是：有樣東西從一個人身上丟了出來，旁邊的人沒打算接，卻還是接到了。從這個畫面出發，這個字往兩個方向走。一個方向是「跑到別人身上」——病會傳，心情也會傳。另一個方向是「把人拉過來」——好看的顏色、好記的旋律抓住你的注意力。
