The picture sits in the word field. Not a field of grass — field is the place where the work is really happening, as opposed to the desk, the office, the headquarters. An organization has two kinds of people: the ones at the centre with the paperwork, and the ones sent out to where things are actually going on. A field officer is one of the second kind. Change the organization and you change what the outside looks like — a farm, or a unit of soldiers on the move — but the position is the same: out there, not back here.

畫面可以想成藏在 field 這個字裡。不是草地上的「田」,而是「事情真正在發生的地方」,跟辦公桌、辦公室、後方指揮部相對。一個組織裡大致有兩種人:一種坐在中心處理文件,一種被派到外面,到事情正在進行的地方。field officer 屬於後面那一種。換一個組織,外面的樣子就換一次——可能是山邊的農場,也可能是正在移動的部隊——但位置沒變:在外面,不在後方。
