喜樂美語

One way to hold this word: something hits your eye before you have decided to look. Step out of a tunnel at noon and the light is on you already; you squint, you turn your head. That is the picture. From there it moves to faults that reach you the same way, with no searching needed, and to the stare a cat gives you across a dark room.

可以想成有東西在你決定要看之前，就先撞上你的眼睛。中午從隧道走出來，光已經打在臉上了。你瞇眼、你別過頭。那就是這個字的畫面。從這裡它走向兩邊：一邊是「不用找就自己跳出來的缺點」，一邊是動詞 glare 的另一面——一雙在暗處直直盯著你的眼睛。

From the word’s history

The source analyses the word as glare plus -ing. The verb glare covers both light thrown straight at you and a hard stare, and every sense here keeps one of those two.

來源把這個字拆成 glare 加上 -ing。動詞 glare 同時管兩件事：光直直射過來，以及人直直瞪過來。這裡每一個意思，都還留著其中一邊。
