核心畫面

Picture a small extra piece hanging off the end of something bigger — attached, but not part of the main run of things. The body has one at the end of the bowel; a book has one after the last chapter. In both cases you could take it away and the main thing would still work.

可以想成:一個小小的東西掛在某樣大東西的末端——連著,但不屬於主體的那條主線。身體在腸子末端有一個;一本書在最後一章更多收起可以想成:一個小小的東西掛在某樣大東西的末端——連著,但不屬於主體的那條主線。身體在腸子末端有一個;一本書在最後一章之後也有一個。兩邊都一樣:把它拿掉,主體照樣運作。
