核心畫面

Two things are put together and there is nothing loose left over: no folds of cloth hanging off the body, no gap between the and the wall, no wobble where the part sits in the machine. 'Fitted' says that one of them was shaped on purpose so that it would match the other exactly. That is why the word almost always points backwards to work someone did — the jacket was cut that way, the wardrobe was built that way, the alarm was put in that way. When the two things being matched are a person and a job, the same picture still holds: their skills line up with what the work needs.

可以想成兩樣東西擺在一起之後,沒有任何多餘、鬆掉的地方:衣服不會有一堆布垮在身上,櫃子跟牆之間不會留縫,零件裝進去也更多收起可以想成兩樣東西擺在一起之後,沒有任何多餘、鬆掉的地方:衣服不會有一堆布垮在身上,櫃子跟牆之間不會留縫,零件裝進去也不會晃。「fitted」說的是其中一樣被特意做成那個形狀,好跟另一樣剛好對上。所以這個字幾乎都回頭指向某個人做過的工:外套是這樣剪的,衣櫃是這樣做的,警報器是這樣裝的。當對上的兩樣變成「人」和「工作」時,畫面還是同一個——他的本事剛好對上那份工作要的東西。
