核心畫面

Picture a line of people moving down a street while crowds stand and watch — a parade is a public showing-off in motion. The two ingredients are always there: things move along in a line, AND they are put on display for others to see and admire. From that one picture you get street celebrations, marching soldiers, and the idea of showing off.

可以想成一隊人沿著街道走過去,兩旁的人群站著觀看——parade 的核心畫面可以想成「列隊行進+公開展示」這兩件事合更多收起可以想成一隊人沿著街道走過去,兩旁的人群站著觀看——parade 的核心畫面可以想成「列隊行進+公開展示」這兩件事合在一起。一邊是一個接一個地往前走,一邊是擺出來給大家看、給人欣賞。從這個畫面出發,往「行進」那頭走,就是慶典遊行、閱兵;往「展示給人看」那頭走,就變成炫耀、招搖、把人或物拉出來示眾。
