喜樂美語

核心畫面

Picture a face in a crowd suddenly clicking into place: you have met this before, and now you know what it is. The word then moves from seeing to saying — from privately knowing something for what it is, to a government, a court or an audience declaring out loud that it is what it is.

可以想成：人群裡一張臉突然對上了——這個我見過，我知道他是誰。這個字接著從「看出來」走向「說出來」：從自己心裡認得，…更多收起可以想成：人群裡一張臉突然對上了——這個我見過，我知道他是誰。這個字接著從「看出來」走向「說出來」：從自己心裡認得，變成政府、法院或一群人公開宣告「這確實就是這樣」。所以同一個字既能說認出朋友，也能說承認一個國家、肯定一份貢獻。
