核心畫面

You could picture a judge who the verdict before the trial begins — before hearing a single witness. That 'before' is what sits inside the word: a judgement that has already taken shape before anyone looked at the facts. From there it goes two ways — an opinion formed too early, and the harm that falls on whoever is judged that way.

可以想成:法官在開庭之前就把判決書寫好了——證人一個都還沒傳,結論已經定案。這個字裡藏著的就是那個「提前」的動作:在更多收起可以想成:法官在開庭之前就把判決書寫好了——證人一個都還沒傳,結論已經定案。這個字裡藏著的就是那個「提前」的動作:在看清楚事實之前,判斷就已經成形。從這個畫面往兩邊長,一邊是「太早下的看法」,另一邊是「被這樣判定的人所受到的損害」。
