核心畫面

Picture something that was knocked down or slipped away slowly coming back to where it should be — a sick body climbing back to health, a lost thing returning to your hand. The core is the return: getting back to how it was.

可以想成一個被打倒、或是掉走的東西,慢慢地回到它原本該在的位置——生病的身體爬回健康,遺失的東西回到你手上。核心畫面更多收起可以想成一個被打倒、或是掉走的東西,慢慢地回到它原本該在的位置——生病的身體爬回健康,遺失的東西回到你手上。核心畫面比較像『重新拿回、回到原狀』這個「回來」的動作。

From the word’s history

From Latin recuperare 'to get back, regain', via Old French recovrer. The whole word is built on getting something back — whether that something is your health, a stable situation, or a lost object.

來自拉丁文 recuperare(重新取得、拿回),經古法語 recovrer 進入英語。整個字的骨架就是『把某個東西再拿回來』——不管那個東西是你的健康、穩定的局面,還是一件遺失的物品。
