You can picture a hand under something, raising it and holding it up. Sometimes the thing being raised is an arm, a face or a piece of ground. Sometimes it is a person's mood.
可以想成一隻手從下面托著,把東西抬起來,而且停在上面。有時候被抬起來的是手臂、是仰著的臉、是一整片被推高的地。有時候被抬起來的,是一個人的心情。這個字的兩個意思,用的是同一個往上托的動作。
From the word’s history
up + lift: literally 'lifted up'. The feeling sense is the same action carried out on a person's mood.
up(往上)加上 lift(抬)。字面就是「被往上抬起來」。講心情的那個用法,是把同一個動作放到人的情緒上。
