哭
kū
What filled you up spilling out of the eyes: 哭
The picture Something has filled you to the brim and now runs over the eyelids and down the cheek. 哭 spills what filled you out through the eyes; 笑 spreads it out through the mouth.
Where the picture shows up in 哭
-
the line does not stop
孩子哭了一晚上。
hái zi kū le yì wǎn shang
The child cried all night.
Water keeping a track down the child's cheek until the window turns light
-
the bank gives way
她听完就哭起来了。
tā tīng wán jiù kū qǐ lái le
She burst into tears as soon as she heard.
The held-back rim of the eyes collapsing all at once as the sentence ends
起来 adds the sense of bursting out
-
asking the water to stop
别哭了,我们一起想办法。
bié kū le, wǒ men yì qǐ xiǎng bàn fǎ
Do not cry, we will figure it out together.
Handing over a tissue, an arm around the shoulder, sitting down face to face
别哭了 is said to someone already crying
-
doing it while crying
他哭着打电话给妈妈。
tā kū zhe dǎ diàn huà gěi mā ma
He called his mother in tears.
Wet cheeks while a finger taps the screen and a voice goes into the phone
哭着 rides along with another action
-
what the water left
她哭得眼睛都红了。
tā kū de yǎn jing dōu hóng le
She cried until her eyes were red.
A face where the water has passed many times, the rims now swollen and red
After 哭得 comes the result it reached
All of it in one picture
哭 is one line of water running downward. Let that line not stop and the child cried all night; let the bank give way the moment words land and it has burst out. 别哭了 is the hand that asks the water to stop, and dialing a phone while it still runs means doing that crying. After the water has passed many times, what is left behind is a pair of red, swollen eyes.
