Picture something rubbing against a surface until it goes red and sore — a rough label against skin, smoke in the eyes. English uses the same verb for what repeated small do to a person's patience: nothing dramatic, just the same rub, over and over, until it stings.
可以想成：一樣東西一直磨著一個表面，磨到發紅、發痛——粗糙的標籤磨著皮膚、煙燻著眼睛。英文用同一個動詞來說「一再重複的小事」對一個人耐性做的事：沒有什麼戲劇性，就是同一個地方一直磨，磨到刺痛。
