核心畫面

One way to hold it: the order goes out and nothing comes back. The arm is still there, the person tells it to lift, and there is no answer at all. That silence between wanting to move and moving is what the word names — first in the body, and then in the mind, where fear can cut the same line.

可以想成大腦下了指令,卻等不到回應:手就在那裡,你叫它抬起來,它一點動靜都沒有,有時候連碰到都感覺不到。paraly更多收起可以想成大腦下了指令,卻等不到回應:手就在那裡,你叫它抬起來,它一點動靜都沒有,有時候連碰到都感覺不到。paralysed 說的就是「指令送出去、沒有回音」這個狀態。把同樣的畫面搬到心裡,就是嚇到整個人卡住——身體沒毛病,但那條線一樣被切斷了。

心裡僵住

同一個畫面搬到心裡:這次斷掉的不是神經,是「想到」跟「做出來」之間那一段。身體完全正常,但害怕或驚嚇讓人選不出下一步,看起來就跟動不了一樣。
