核心畫面

One way to hold this word: something is closed, and more keeps being pushed into it. Air into a sealed cabin, gas into a small can — the walls hold, and what is inside presses outward. Now put a person where the container was. Jobs, messages and deadlines keep going in, and the week has no more room; the feeling of being pushed on from inside is the same shape. The word keeps the picture and only changes what is holding it.

可以這樣抓這個字:有個東西被封起來了,而且還一直有東西被灌進去。空氣灌進密封的客艙,氣體灌進小罐子。外殼撐住,裡面的更多收起可以這樣抓這個字:有個東西被封起來了,而且還一直有東西被灌進去。空氣灌進密封的客艙,氣體灌進小罐子。外殼撐住,裡面的東西就往外頂。接著把人放到容器的位置上。工作、訊息、期限一件一件進來,這個星期已經沒有空位了。那種從裡面被頂著的感覺,形狀是一樣的。這個字保留了同一個畫面,只換了「被撐住的是誰」。
