Split the phrase and it opens. A period is one stretch of years with a look of its own; a piece is one made thing — a chair, a film, a song. Put them together and you have a made thing that carries the smell of a particular stretch of years. The only question left is how the smell got there. Sometimes the thing really came out of those years and kept them. Sometimes a maker went back and built them again on purpose. Either way, you look at it and you can say when.

可以想成把兩個字拆開看。period 是一段有自己樣子的年代。piece 是一件做出來的東西——一把椅子、一部電影、一首歌。合起來就是「一件身上帶著某個年代味道的東西」。剩下的問題只有一個:那個味道是怎麼來的。有時候是它本來就出自那個年代,然後把年代留了下來。有時候是創作者刻意回去,把那個年代重蓋一次。不管哪一種,你一看就能說出「這是哪個年代」。
