鑲嵌的
Picture a craftworker cutting a shallow shape out of a wooden lid, then dropping a piece of shell into the hollow so that it lies exactly level with the wood. Nothing sticks up. Run your hand across and you feel one smooth surface, but your eye sees two materials.
可以想成一個師傅在木頭蓋子上挖出一個淺淺的形狀，再把一片貝殼放進那個凹槽裡，剛好跟木頭齊平。沒有任何東西凸出來。手摸過去是一整片平的，眼睛看到的卻是兩種材料。inlaid 的兩個意思，都是在描述這同一個畫面，只是一個看整件東西，一個看那片被放進去的材料。
