核心畫面

Picture an empty container and something flowing in until no empty space is left — water rising in a glass, sand poured into a hole. That movement from empty to full is the heart of the word. Everything else is the same picture stretched: a crowd filling a hall, a smell filling a room, a feeling filling a heart, a gap or a job or a stretch of time that had a hole in it and now is full.

可以想成一個空的容器,東西一直流進去,直到沒有空隙——水在杯子裡慢慢升高,沙子倒進坑裡。這個「從空到滿」的過程,就是更多收起可以想成一個空的容器,東西一直流進去,直到沒有空隙——水在杯子裡慢慢升高,沙子倒進坑裡。這個「從空到滿」的過程,就是整個字的核心。其他用法都是同一個畫面被拉長:人群把大廳塞滿、氣味把房間瀰漫、情緒把心填滿,或者一個本來有缺口的空缺、職位、時段,現在被補上、被佔滿了。
