在心裡造畫面
核心畫面本身:主動在腦中造出一個影像或想法。
picture in your mind · verb · B1
To build a picture or an idea in your mind of something that is not in front of you, so you get a sense of what it could be like.
想像
Picture making a picture inside your own head — calling up something you cannot see in front of you and letting your mind 'look' at it. Every use of imagine is some version of that inner screen lighting up.
From Latin imaginari 'to form a mental picture', from imago 'image' — literally to make an image in the mind.
源自拉丁文 imaginari「在心中成像」,來自 imago「影像」——字面上就是「在腦中造出一個影像」,所以核心一直是「心裡成像」。
