    示範例句 · Example

    The news said the fighting has stopped, and the families can go home.

    逐字新聞說戰事已經停止了，而且那些家庭可以回家了。

    「fighting」講的不是某一次打架，而是「大家打起來」的那整段狀況，所以它不可數——不說 a fighting，也沒有 fightings。可以想成：a fight 是一次、看得到頭尾的事件（The two teams had a fight），fighting 則像整片持續著的場面，可以持續好幾個月。新聞裡最常見：fighting broke out（打了起來）、heavy fighting（激烈的戰事）、stop the fighting（停止交戰）；中文常翻成「戰事」「衝突」「打鬥」，看場合選。

core核心畫面

You can picture this as the moment talk has stopped and people are actually striking each other — soldiers shooting at each other in a war, or two groups hitting each other in a street. The word names the whole scene of that violence going on, not one person's punch.

可以想成：話已經講不下去了，人真的動起手來的那個場面——戰場上兩軍開火，或街頭兩群人打成一團。fighting 指的是「正在打」的整體狀況，不是某一個人揮出的那一拳。因為它看的是場面而不是動作，所以常常會說 heavy fighting（激烈的戰事）、fighting broke out（打了起來），像在描述一片正在燒的火，而不是一根火柴。
