核心畫面

A picture that holds both uses: something cold, sweet, and sour-tasting that goes with a hot day. The oldest version is the one you make yourself — squeeze lemons, add sugar and water, drop in ice. Then a factory made the same flavour and put bubbles in it, and the bottle kept the name. So one word covers a on a kitchen table and a can from a shop, and which one people picture depends on where they live.

一個可以同時裝下兩種用法的畫面:冰的、甜的、帶點酸,屬於熱天喝的東西。最老的版本是自己做的——擠檬檬、加糖加水、丟幾更多收起一個可以同時裝下兩種用法的畫面:冰的、甜的、帶點酸,屬於熱天喝的東西。最老的版本是自己做的——擠檬檬、加糖加水、丟幾塊冰。後來工廠把同樣的味道做成飲料、還打進氣泡,瓶子上仍然掛著這個名字。所以同一個字既指廚房桌上那壺,也指店裡那罐;別人腦中浮出哪一個,多半看他住在哪裡。
