You can picture a strong inner pull toward something you don't yet have — a wanting that's warmer and more intense than just 'liking'. 'Desire' is that powerful wish, whether it points at a thing you long for or at another person.

可以想成心裡有一股強烈的拉力,朝著一個你還沒得到的東西伸過去——比「喜歡」更熱、更用力的那種「想要」。整個字都繞著這股強烈的渴望打轉,無論它指向一個你嚮往的東西,還是指向另一個人。
