核心畫面

Picture a cover being lifted off. Two things follow at once: what was underneath can now be seen, and it can now be reached by whatever is out there. Every use of expose is one of those halves — sometimes the story is about being seen (a secret, a feeling, film meeting light), sometimes about having nothing in between (danger, new ideas).

可以想成:一塊蓋子被掀開。同時發生兩件事:底下的東西被看見了,而且外面的東西也擋不住了。expose 的每個用法都落更多收起可以想成:一塊蓋子被掀開。同時發生兩件事:底下的東西被看見了,而且外面的東西也擋不住了。expose 的每個用法都落在其中一半——有時候講的是「被看見」(秘密、心情、底片遇到光),有時候講的是「中間沒有東西擋著」(危險、新的想法)。分清楚是哪一半,這個字就好掌握了。

From the picture

中間沒東西擋著

掀開蓋子的另一半後果:外面的東西可以直接碰到。碰到的是毒是險,還是新鮮的見識,決定了語氣好壞。
