Picture someone circling a small thing with far more energy than it deserves — straightening the same cushion, worrying aloud, hands busy, voice raised. The activity is real; the size of the thing it is aimed at is not.
一個人繞著一件小事打轉，投進去的力氣遠遠超過那件事該有的份量——同一個抱枕擺了三次、嘴裡一直念、手停不下來。動作是真的很多，但被針對的那件事其實很小。fuss 這個字幾乎都在講這個落差：注意力和事情大小不成比例。至於那股能量是焦慮、是抱怨、還是疼愛，就看場合往哪邊倒。
