喜樂美語

One way to hold `powdered` is to picture a small heap of fine, dry, pale dust. From that heap the word points in two directions. Either the thing itself has been turned into the dust — milk, sugar, ginger, medicine. Or the dust has been laid on the outside of something else — a face, a wig, a surface. It is the same dust each time; the only question is whether it is what the thing has become, or what the thing is wearing.

powdered 可以想成腦中有一小堆細細的乾粉。從這堆粉出發，這個字往兩個方向走。一個方向是「這樣東西本身被磨成了那堆粉」，像奶粉、糖粉、薑粉、藥粉：水抽掉，磨細，整樣東西就改了形狀。另一個方向是「那堆粉被撲到別的東西外面」，像撲了粉的臉、撲粉的白假髮：東西沒變，只是表面多了一層。兩邊其實是同一堆粉，差別只在它是在裡面，還是在外面。
