核心畫面

One way to hold it: the moment something that was on its way is finally here. The journey is over; the door opens and there it is. English keeps that same moment and changes what was travelling — a person, a parcel, a date on the calendar, a new invention, a baby, or a decision you have been working your way towards.

可以想成「本來還在路上的東西,現在到了」的那一刻。旅程結束,門一開,它就在這裡。英文保留這一刻,只換掉在路上的是什麼更多收起可以想成「本來還在路上的東西,現在到了」的那一刻。旅程結束,門一開,它就在這裡。英文保留這一刻,只換掉在路上的是什麼——可以是人、包裹、日曆上的某一天、一項新發明、一個新生兒,或是你一路想過去、終於到達的一個決定。
