核心畫面

Picture the counter where medicines are made ready and handed over: shelves of boxes behind, a window at the front, someone measuring out what a doctor asked for. The word starts as that place, then stretches inward to the same counter inside a hospital, and outward to the whole body of knowledge behind it.

可以想成:一個「把藥備好、交出去」的櫃檯——後面是一排排的藥架,前面是取藥的窗口,有人正照著醫師的指示把藥配出來。這更多收起可以想成:一個「把藥備好、交出去」的櫃檯——後面是一排排的藥架,前面是取藥的窗口,有人正照著醫師的指示把藥配出來。這個字最原始的畫面比較像這個地方;從這裡往裡走,就是醫院裡同樣功能的那個窗口,往外抽象,就變成撐起這一切的那門學問。
