核心畫面

You can think of concentrated as everything pulled in to one point. Whatever was spread thin — water round the flavour, energy across ten jobs, shops across a whole town — has been gathered until it sits together in one small space. Gathering makes it stronger there, and everywhere else.

可以想成「把散開的東西全部收到一個點上」。本來被水稀釋掉的味道,本來分給十件事的力氣,本來散在全鎮的店家——通通往中更多收起可以想成「把散開的東西全部收到一個點上」。本來被水稀釋掉的味道,本來分給十件事的力氣,本來散在全鎮的店家——通通往中間收。收在一起之後,那一點就變得很強。而其他地方就空掉了。這個畫面同時解釋了濃縮果汁、全力以赴、和店家集中在一條街上。
