One way to picture hunt: you are after something that does not want to be found, and you keep going until you get it. Start with an animal being chased; take away the animal and the chase itself remains — searching hard for lost keys, tracking down a suspect, or the whole organised business of fox hunting.

可以想成 hunt 是「你在追一個不想被找到的東西,而且不追到不罷休」。從追動物這個畫面開始;把動物拿掉,那份「追」還在——翻遍整間屋子找鑰匙、循線緝捕嫌犯,或是英國那一整套騎馬獵狐的活動。
