核心畫面

Picture a cross-section: one flat sheet of something resting on another, each with its own thickness, and you can count them from the outside in. English keeps that stack and moves it around — levels in an organization, the act of building the stack yourself, even hair cut so the short pieces sit over the long ones.

可以想成:把東西切開來看的剖面——一片平平地疊在另一片上,各有各的厚度,從外往內可以一片一片數。英文把這疊東西帶著走更多收起可以想成:把東西切開來看的剖面——一片平平地疊在另一片上,各有各的厚度,從外往內可以一片一片數。英文把這疊東西帶著走:組織裡的層級、你自己動手把它疊起來的動作,甚至是把頭髮剪成短的蓋在長的上面。
