Picture the empty feeling that pulls you towards food. English stretches it in two directions: in degree, from 'I could eat' all the way to people who do not have enough food at all; and in object, so that the same pull towards success, power or news is also called hunger.
可以想成：肚子裡那種空空的感覺，把你拉向食物。英文把它往兩個方向延伸：一是程度，從「有點想吃」一路到長期吃不飽的處境；二是對象，把同樣那股「被拉過去」的力用在成功、權力、消息上。所以看到 hungry，先看它後面拉的是食物還是別的東西。
