核心畫面

This is the adjective for everything to do with the post: the vans, the workers, the rules, the codes. Its second use marks how something was done — through the mail rather than face to face. And one fixed phrase, go postal, has drifted right away from letters into a way of describing someone losing their temper completely.

這是「郵政」的形容詞,凡是跟郵務有關的都用它:郵車、郵務人員、規章、郵遞區號。第二個用法標記的是做事的方式——用寄的更多收起這是「郵政」的形容詞,凡是跟郵務有關的都用它:郵車、郵務人員、規章、郵遞區號。第二個用法標記的是做事的方式——用寄的,而不是本人到場。另外還有一個固定說法 go postal,已經完全離開信件的世界,變成形容一個人氣到失控的口語。

氣到失控
