A field after a long hot month with no rain: the water is gone, the soil has opened into cracks, the grass has turned brown. That is dry taken all the way to the end. Hold that field in mind, then put it inside a person — cracked lips, a rough throat — and you have the other half of the word.
可以想成一片曬了整整一個月、一滴雨都沒下的田：水分跑光了，泥土裂開一道一道，草全變成褐色。那就是「乾」走到盡頭的樣子。把這片田記住，再把它搬進一個人身上——嘴唇裂了、喉嚨粗粗的——就是這個字的另一半。
