核心畫面

Think of 'land' as the solid dry ground under your feet — the part of the earth that is not sea or air. From that one picture the noun spreads into a patch of ground, the country or countryside, and someone's owned property; and the verb captures the moment something coming through the air finally meets that solid ground — a plane touching down, a punch landing, a job you finally come down on and grab.

可以把 land 想成「腳下那片堅實的乾地」——地球上不是海、也不是空中的那一塊。名詞從這片地往外長：一塊耕地或建地…更多收起可以把 land 想成「腳下那片堅實的乾地」——地球上不是海、也不是空中的那一塊。名詞從這片地往外長：一塊耕地或建地、一個國度或鄉間、某人名下的地產。動詞則抓住『穿過空中的東西終於碰到這片實地』的那一刻——飛機降落、拳頭打中、一份工作終於被你『落下來抓住』。
