A note on this entry: sought is not a separate word — it is the past tense and past participle of seek, listed here as its own . One way to hold seek itself: going after something that is not simply lying in front of you. You look for it, ask for it, work towards it — advice, safety, a job, an answer.

sought 不是獨立的字，而是 seek 的過去式與過去分詞。seek 本身可以想成：去追一樣不會自己出現在你面前的東西——尋找它、開口要它、朝它努力，可能是建議、庇護、一份工作或一個答案。
