A yard full of pens. Animals standing in rows, and buyers walking slowly along the rail, looking each one over and deciding what it is worth. Nothing about the animal counts except what can be seen from outside. Both meanings of this phrase live inside that one scene: the first is the scene itself, the second is what happens when people are put in it.
可以想成一個圍欄場:牛一排排站著,買家沿著欄杆慢慢走,一隻一隻打量,然後心裡定出一個價錢。這個畫面裡最關鍵的不是牛,而是「被人一個一個看過去,只用外表決定價值」。cattle market 的兩個意思都住在這個畫面裡:第一個就是這個場景本身,第二個是把人放進這個場景之後的感覺。
