核心畫面

Think of one big, broad-branched tree standing in a cool northern field — and then think of the same tree cut into a heavy tabletop. English lets one word cover both the living tree and the hard wood it gives you, so 'an oak' is the tree and 'solid oak' is the material.

可以想成一棵枝幹粗壯、站在溫帶田野裡的大樹；接著把同一棵樹鋸開，做成一張沉甸甸的桌面——英文用同一個字裝下這兩個畫面…更多收起可以想成一棵枝幹粗壯、站在溫帶田野裡的大樹；接著把同一棵樹鋸開，做成一張沉甸甸的桌面——英文用同一個字裝下這兩個畫面。所以 an old oak 是那棵樹本身，a table made of solid oak 則是它給出的木料。這種「樹＝木材」的一字兩用在英文裡很常見（pine、teak 也一樣），中文則習慣分成橡樹和橡木兩個詞，讀的時候看有沒有冠詞、能不能數，通常就分得出來。
