核心畫面

You can picture a jug as a container built for one job: holding liquid and letting you pour it out under control. It has a handle on one side so your hand stays clear of the weight, and an opening shaped for pouring at the top — a wide curved lip in British English, a narrow neck in American English. Milk, water, juice: something wet goes in, and comes out where you aim it.

可以想成一個「為了倒出液體而做」的容器:一邊有把手,讓手不必直接扛住重量;上面有一個方便倒的開口——英式指的是寬而外更多收起可以想成一個「為了倒出液體而做」的容器:一邊有把手,讓手不必直接扛住重量;上面有一個方便倒的開口——英式指的是寬而外翻的壺口,美式指的是窄窄的瓶頸。牛奶、水、果汁裝進去,再從你對準的地方流出來。這個畫面裡有兩個重點:它裝的是液體,而且它是設計來「倒」的,不是設計來端著喝的。
