核心畫面

Leaning your whole weight on someone or something, trusting it to hold you — even though you can't prove in advance that it will.

可以想成:你把整個人的重量靠上去,相信對方或某樣東西會撐住你,即使你事先沒辦法證明它一定撐得住。faith 的核心畫更多收起可以想成:你把整個人的重量靠上去,相信對方或某樣東西會撐住你,即使你事先沒辦法證明它一定撐得住。faith 的核心畫面可以想像成這種「沒有保證、卻仍然把重量交出去」的信靠。從信任一個人、到信仰神、再到「守不守信」,都是同一份「把自己交託出去、相信對方會接住」的心。
