喜樂美語

核心畫面

One way to picture landscape: you stand somewhere high and look out — hills, fields, roads, a river, all of it spread wide in front of you as one view. The word is that whole spread taken in at once, which is why it later covers pictures of it, situations shaped like it, and even a page turned to match its wide shape.

可以想成 landscape 是你站在高處往外看的那一整片：山、田、路、河，全部攤開在眼前，一眼收進來成為一個畫面。…更多收起可以想成 landscape 是你站在高處往外看的那一整片：山、田、路、河，全部攤開在眼前，一眼收進來成為一個畫面。這個字指的就是那「一整片」的感覺——所以後來畫下這片景的畫、形狀像這片景的局勢，甚至把紙轉成同樣寬扁的方向，都用這個字。
