An animal's foot — a cat's, a dog's, a bear's. Soft pads underneath, claws at the tips. It is a foot, not a hand: it can press, and drag at things, but it cannot hold them gently or handle them with care.
動物的那隻腳：底下是軟軟的肉墊，趾尖是爪子。重點在於它是「腳」不是「手」——它能壓、能扒、能勾、能把東西撥來撥去，但沒辦法輕輕捏住、也做不出細緻的動作。這個「粗、不受控、不會斟酌力道」的感覺，就是 paw 從動物身上一路帶到人身上的東西：只要說某人的手是 paw、說某人在 paw，講話的人就已經把那雙手歸到「不懂分寸」那一邊了。
