核心畫面

Something a group has settled on together — not a law of nature, just what everyone has agreed to treat as normal. Sometimes that agreement is unspoken (how you greet people), sometimes it is signed on paper by governments, and sometimes it is a habit of a craft that artists all recognise. The gathering sense is the meeting where a group comes together to settle such things.

可以想成:一群人「講好」的東西——不是自然律,只是大家都同意當成正常的做法。有時候這個同意是不明講的(見面怎麼打招呼更多收起可以想成:一群人「講好」的東西——不是自然律,只是大家都同意當成正常的做法。有時候這個同意是不明講的(見面怎麼打招呼),有時候是各國政府白紙黑字簽下來的,有時候是某個行業裡人人都懂的做法。而「大會」那個意思,就是一群人聚在一起把這些事情談定的場合。
