核心畫面

Picture someone actually registering the worth of something that was there all along — the care in a meal, the effort behind a favour, how serious a problem really is. Seeing the value is the thread; and once value is the theme, English also lets the word cover value that has literally gone up in money terms.

可以想成:某樣東西的價值一直在那裡,而有人終於真正看見了它——一頓飯裡的用心、一個幫忙背後的力氣、一個問題其實有多嚴更多收起可以想成:某樣東西的價值一直在那裡,而有人終於真正看見了它——一頓飯裡的用心、一個幫忙背後的力氣、一個問題其實有多嚴重。「看見價值」是這個字的主線;而既然主題是價值,英文也就讓它同時指價值真的往上漲的那種情況。
