Think of a calendar with most of its holidays nailed down — the same square every year — and one that refuses to stay still. Its day is not written on the calendar at all; it is worked out from a rule, so each year it lands somewhere new and you have to look it up again. That one loose day is the picture. Both uses on this page are that day: first the real festival, then anything else in life whose time will not sit still, so you check again every week to find out when it is.

可以想成一本日曆:大部分的節日都被釘死在同一格,年年不動,只有一個不肯待著。它的日子根本沒印在日曆上,而是按一套規則算出來的,所以每年都落在新的地方,你每次都得重查一次。那一格鬆動的日子就是這個詞的畫面。這一頁的兩個意思都是那格日子——先是真正的節日,接著是生活裡任何時間定不下來、每週都得再確認一次的事。
