核心畫面

Picture a coin being pressed out by a machine. Plain metal goes in, the machine stamps a face and a year onto it, and out comes a thing with a fixed shape and a shiny surface that nobody has touched yet. That is minted in its plainest use, and the other uses on this side of the word borrow the same picture.

可以想成一枚硬幣剛從壓模裡出來的畫面。金屬進去的時候還沒有樣子,機器一壓,圖案和年份就定在上面了。出來的那一刻它亮亮更多收起可以想成一枚硬幣剛從壓模裡出來的畫面。金屬進去的時候還沒有樣子,機器一壓,圖案和年份就定在上面了。出來的那一刻它亮亮的,形狀固定,還沒有人用過。這一邊的 minted,幾個意思都可以看成從這個「剛壓好、亮晶晶」的畫面長出來的。
