喜樂美語

You can start from a single feather: very thin, very light, and laid flat against what is under it. A bird is covered in thousands of them, lying in a smooth layer with nothing sticking up. Most uses of feathered keep one part of that picture — either the layer of them lying over a surface, or the thinness of the one blade turned edge-on.

可以從一根羽毛開始想：很薄、很輕，而且是貼著底下的東西平躺的。一隻鳥身上有幾千根這樣的東西，排成平順的一層，沒有一根翹起來。feathered 的各種用法，多半各留下這張圖的一半——有的留「鋪成一層蓋在表面上」，有的留「單薄的一片側著」。
