A step that cannot be finished. The foot goes down, the weight will not go with it, and the foot comes straight back up — so the stride is cut short and the body dips and rises. Whatever is moving is still moving; it just cannot open up and go. Every use of this word keeps those two halves together: still going, held short.
可以想成：一個踏不滿的步伐。腳落下去了，重量卻沒跟著壓下去，於是腳馬上又收回來。步子被截短，身體跟著一沉一抬。重點是兩件事同時成立：東西還在動，可是伸展不開、走不遠。這個字的每一個用法都同時保留這兩半。有時候截短它的是痛，有時候是一條繩子，有時候是缺錢或缺人手。
