  1. 1aB2/ˈhɜːrtfəl/ · /ˈhɜːtfəl/傷人的

    示範例句 · Example

    逐字里歐說了一些關於美的畫的傷人的話，而她在剩下的課堂時間都保持安靜。

    hurtful 說的是「會傷到人的心」的話或做法。它的方向很重要：受傷的是聽的人，而 hurtful 形容的是那個「弄傷人的東西」——一句話、一則留言、一個舉動。可以想成它從 hurt（弄痛）長出來，只是那個痛從身上換到了心裡，所以身體受傷不會用 hurtful。最常搭配的字是 remark、comment、things，例如 a hurtful remark（一句傷人的話）。

core核心畫面

You can picture hurt moving out of the body and into the feelings: nothing touches you, yet a word or an act lands and leaves a sore place inside. 'Hurtful' names things that do that — a remark, a joke, a decision — never a knife or a fall.

可以想成「痛」從身體搬到了心裡：沒有人碰到你，但一句話、一個舉動落下來，裡面就留了一塊會痛的地方。hurtful 說的就是會造成這種痛的東西——一句評語、一個玩笑、一個決定——而不是刀子或跌倒那種痛。
