Think of a jar of water with sand in it. Shake it and everything moves; put it down and wait, and the sand sinks to the bottom while the water goes clear and still. Settled can be held as that second moment — the moving is over, and what is there now is likely to stay.

可以想成一罐裝了沙的水。搖一搖,裡面什麼都在動。放下來等一等,沙沉到底,水就清了、靜了。settled 可以想成後面那一刻:動的部分結束了,現在這個樣子,大概還會維持一陣子。這個字的幾個用法,就像同一個畫面用在不同東西上——用在生活上、用在心裡、用在天上。
