    示範例句 · Example

    Hana's mother was sunbathing in the back garden when we arrived.

    逐字我們到達的時候,花的媽媽正在後院做日光浴。

    sunbathe 指的是「特地待在外面曬太陽」——重點在人躺著或坐著不動,讓陽光曬在身上,而且常常是想把皮膚曬成褐色。這個字可以想成 sun(太陽)+ bathe(沐浴),就像把整個人泡進陽光裡,中文的「日光浴」也是同一個畫面。中文的「曬太陽」範圍比較廣(曬棉被、走在太陽下都算),sunbathe 只用在「人待著不動地曬」。

core核心畫面

Think of someone lying still on a beach towel with their eyes shut, letting the sun fall on their skin the way water falls on you in a bath — that is the picture inside the word: sun + bathe. Nothing else is happening; up the sun IS the activity.

可以想成一個人躺在沙灘巾上、眼睛閉著,讓太陽整片灑在皮膚上——就像洗澡時水包住全身那樣,只是這次包住你的是陽光。這個字就是 sun(太陽)+ bathe(沐浴)拼起來的,畫面剛好對得上。重點在於:他沒有在做別的事,「泡在太陽裡」本身就是他正在做的事。
