喜樂美語

You can hold pressure as one thing pressing steadily against another — a hand pushing on a door, weight bearing down on a surface. From that one physical push the word spreads two ways: the literal force of things pressing on things, and the felt force of circumstances or people pressing on a person.

可以想成一個東西穩穩地壓在另一個東西上——手推著門、重物壓在桌面上的那股力。從這個實實在在的「推壓」出發，這個字往兩邊長：一邊是物理上東西壓著東西的力，一邊是處境或別人「壓」在一個人身上、讓他喘不過氣的那種感覺。
