喜樂美語

Think of dressing run backwards: the clothes that were put on are now coming off, one piece at a time — before a bath, before bed, before swimming, or when a nurse helps a patient out of a shirt. The verb is that action; the noun is the state you are left in once it has happened.

可以想成把「穿衣服」這件事倒著播一遍：本來一件一件穿上去的衣服，現在一件一件脫下來——洗澡前、睡覺前、下水前，或是護理人員幫病人把上衣脫掉。動詞說的是這個動作本身，名詞說的是動作發生完之後留下的那個狀態。
