核心畫面

Picture things that should be in separate places all mixed into one pile, so nothing can be told apart. English puts that mixed-up state either inside the person who is trying to follow, or in the thing itself — the can be in your head, or in the explanation you were given.

把「亂」從腦袋移到東西上:不是聽的人不行,而是這份說明或這個狀況本身就沒有整理好,誰聽都會卡住。
