One way to hold this phrase: picture the owner of one small shop on a busy street. She is not paid by the hour and she does not own a factory. She owns one small thing, and she is careful about keeping it. Everything the phrase does grows out of that middle position. First it is a name for where she stands in society. Then it becomes a name for the worries people imagine come with standing there: the neighbours, the address, the sofa.
可以想成一個街邊小店的老闆娘。她不是按時領錢的工人，也不是有工廠的大老闆。她只有這一間店，所以小心守著。這個詞的用法，都可以想成從這個「卡在中間」的位置長出來。先是一個講位置的階級名稱。再變成對這種位置的人、他們的心態與品味的批評。
