You can picture smile as the corners of the mouth lifting upward: a small, warm change in the face that lets happiness, friendliness, or amusement show on the outside. That one curving-up of the lips is the picture under everything else — the look itself, words spoken through it, even luck 'turning its face' kindly toward you.

可以把 smile 想成嘴角往上揚的那一下:臉上一個小小、暖暖的變化,把心裡的開心、善意或覺得有趣放到外面讓人看見。核心畫面比較像嘴唇彎成一道向上的弧——後面所有意思都從這個「嘴角上揚」長出來:那個表情本身、帶著這表情說出的話,甚至好運像「對你露出笑臉」一樣眷顧你。
