喜樂美語

You can picture hunting as the whole activity of going after something that does not simply come to you: you look for it, follow its traces, close in on it, and try to take it. The classic scene is a person out in the woods after a deer, but what really carries the word is the search-and-chase, not the killing.

可以想成一整套「追著跑」的活動：目標不會自己走到你面前，你得先找、再跟、再逼近，最後把牠拿下。最典型的畫面比較像有人帶著獵具進山裡追鹿，但真正撐起這個字的其實不是「殺」，而是那段「到處找、一路追」的過程——這也是為什麼它後來可以搬到完全沒有動物的場合。
