    Stop lying — I saw you eat the last cookie!

    逐字停止說謊——我看到你吃掉最後一片餅乾了！

    「lying」是動詞 lie 的 -ing 形，有兩條意思在共用同一個拼法。一條是「說謊」（lie 說假話，I'm not lying = 我沒說謊）；另一條是「躺平」（lie 把身體放平，lying on the bed = 躺在床上）。要小心：lie 還有過去式陷阱——「說謊」是 lie-lied-lied，「躺」是 lie-lay-lain；但兩者的 -ing 形都寫成 lying。

core核心畫面

Lying is the -ing form shared by two different verbs that happen to spell 'lie' the same way: one means telling something , the other means having your body flat on a surface. They are not really one picture — same spelling, two unrelated words — so 'lying' simply carries whichever 'lie' the sentence is about.

可以想成 lying 是兩個剛好都拼成 lie 的不同動詞共用的 -ing 形：一個 lie 是「說不實的話」，另一個 lie 是「身體平放在床上、地上」。它們其實不是同一個畫面——同樣的拼法，兩個不相關的字——所以 lying 只是依句子的意思，承接其中某一個 lie。
