喜樂美語

核心畫面

Picture rope going round and round until separate things become one bundle that cannot come apart. Everything else is that same wrapping done elsewhere: round a person's wrists, round the pages of a book, round the raw edge of cloth, through a powder so it sets, and — with no rope at all — round two people, or round you and a promise you made.

可以想成：繩子一圈一圈繞上去，直到原本分開的東西變成一捆、再也散不開。其他用法都是同樣的纏繞換了地方：繞在一個人的手…更多收起可以想成：繩子一圈一圈繞上去，直到原本分開的東西變成一捆、再也散不開。其他用法都是同樣的纏繞換了地方：繞在一個人的手腕上、繞住一本書的書頁、繞過布料的毛邊、穿過粉末讓它結成塊，還有——完全沒有繩子的——繞住兩個人，或繞住你和你許下的承諾。

From the picture

to make people or groups feel closely joined to each other.

使緊密相連

To make loose pages into a book by fastening them inside a cover.

裝訂

動彈不得的處境

名詞用法：把「被綁住」的感覺搬到處境上——你被卡在中間，怎麼動都不對。
