喜樂美語

One way to hold it: holding something up from underneath so it does not drop. A pillar holds the roof; food holds the body going; hope holds a person through a hard year; steady effort holds a level from sliding back. One odd-looking use goes the other way — to sustain an injury is to be on the receiving end of it, taking the weight of what hit you.

可以想成從下面把東西撐住，不讓它掉下來：柱子撐著屋頂、食物撐著身體、希望撐著一個人度過難熬的一年、持續的努力撐著水準不往下滑。其中有一個用法方向相反——sustain an injury 是「承受」到了傷害，你是接下這一擊的那一方。
