核心畫面

Hold one picture: not a single blow, but blow after blow after blow. Every use of this word needs that repeating. Stand next to it and you hear it, which is the banging at the door and the noise from upstairs. Look at what the blows are doing and you see the work — metal going thinner and harder under the hammer. Step back and look at what is left afterwards, and the same beating becomes a result: a team, a shop or a roof that has been pounded until there is nothing much left of it.

這個字可以想成一個畫面:不是打一下,是一下、一下、又一下。每個用法都要有這個「連續」。站在旁邊,你聽到的是聲音,那就更多收起這個字可以想成一個畫面:不是打一下,是一下、一下、又一下。每個用法都要有這個「連續」。站在旁邊,你聽到的是聲音,那就是門上的猛敲、樓上傳來的噪音。看被打的東西,你看到的是工作,金屬在槌子底下越打越薄、越打越硬。退一步看打完之後剩下什麼,同一串重擊就變成結果:一支隊伍、一家店、一個屋頂,被打到沒什麼剩下。
