喜樂美語

You can picture someone who has been told what to do by whoever is in charge — and who turns round and refuses, openly. The word holds two things at once: there is a power above you, and you push back against it instead of going along. Sometimes that push is armed and organised (fighting the government), sometimes it is one person quietly going their own way, and sometimes it is not even a person — your own stomach or legs refusing to carry on.

可以想成一個畫面：上面有人在下命令、有規矩壓著你，而你當面不照做，還轉過身去對抗。這個字裡永遠有兩個東西——一個在上位的力量，和一個不肯順著走的推回去。推回去的形式可以很大（拿起武器對抗政府），也可以很小（一個人就是不照大家期待的方式活），甚至可以不是人（你的胃、你的腿撐不下去，不肯再配合）。名詞是那個推回去的人，動詞是推回去這個動作。
