核心畫面

You can hold 'pack' as the picture of pressing many things tightly together into one bundle so they travel or stay as a single solid unit. Whether you push clothes into a bag, goods into a box, or snow underfoot, the move is the same: take loose things and squeeze them into one firm, full whole. From there it spreads two ways — a noun for that bundle itself (a pack of cards, a backpack), and a picture of a tight group that moves as one (a pack of wolves).

可以想成「pack」是把許多東西緊緊壓進一個整體、讓它們能當成一個結實的單位被搬走或收好的那個畫面。不論你把衣服塞進…更多收起可以想成「pack」是把許多東西緊緊壓進一個整體、讓它們能當成一個結實的單位被搬走或收好的那個畫面。不論你把衣服塞進袋子、把貨物裝進箱子、還是把雪踩實，動作其實一樣：把零散的東西擠成一個紮實、滿滿的整體。從這裡它往兩邊長出去——一邊是那個「捆好的東西」本身（一副牌、一個背包），一邊是「一群緊緊一起行動」的畫面（一群狼）。
