核心畫面

All the meanings grow out of one idea: two things meeting each other exactly, with no gap. A tap screwed onto a pipe, a bulb holder that takes exactly that bulb, a jacket whose shoulders sit exactly on your shoulders, a speech that lands exactly on the mood of the day. When the fit is between objects, `fitting` is the part that joins on; when it is between a garment and a body, it is the session where you check the fit; when it is between an action and an occasion, it is the adjective "right for this moment".

四個意思可以想成從同一個畫面長出來:兩樣東西剛好對上,中間沒有空隙。水龍頭鎖上水管、燈座剛好吃得下那顆燈泡、外套的肩更多收起四個意思可以想成從同一個畫面長出來:兩樣東西剛好對上,中間沒有空隙。水龍頭鎖上水管、燈座剛好吃得下那顆燈泡、外套的肩線剛好落在你的肩上、一段話剛好貼合當下的氣氛。當「對上」發生在物件之間,fitting 就是那個接上去的零件;當「對上」發生在衣服和身體之間,它就是確認合不合身的那一次試穿;當「對上」發生在行為和場合之間,它就成了形容詞「恰當的」。
