核心畫面

Picture a channel with more trying to get through it than it can take: everything backs up and slows to a crawl. Roads are the everyday case; the same picture applies inside a body, where a passage fills with fluid and stops flowing freely.

可以想成:一條通道要通過的東西比它容納得下的還多,於是全部堵在那裡、慢得動不了。最日常的例子是馬路;同一個畫面搬到身更多收起可以想成:一條通道要通過的東西比它容納得下的還多,於是全部堵在那裡、慢得動不了。最日常的例子是馬路;同一個畫面搬到身體裡,就是某個部位積滿了液體、不再暢通。

From the picture

身體裡塞住
