One way to hold it: making room so that something else fits. The hall has enough space for two hundred chairs; the house has a spare bed; the plan is bent a little so someone else's needs fit inside it; and sometimes it is you who changes shape to fit the new situation. The same act of making room, pointed in different directions.

可以想成挪出空間,好讓另一樣東西放得進來:大廳容得下兩百張椅子、家裡有張空床、計畫稍微改一下就裝得下別人的需求——有更多收起可以想成挪出空間,好讓另一樣東西放得進來:大廳容得下兩百張椅子、家裡有張空床、計畫稍微改一下就裝得下別人的需求——有時候需要改變形狀的則是你自己,好塞進新的狀況裡。同一個「挪出位置」的動作,指向不同的方向。
