核心畫面

Picture cold water on your face on a hot day: nothing new is added, the tiredness is simply washed off and you are back to how you were. That 'back to fresh' move is the whole word — done to a person, to a memory, to an empty glass, or to a page on a screen.

可以想成:大熱天用冷水潑一下臉——沒有多出什麼新東西,只是把疲倦沖掉,人又回到原本清爽的狀態。這個「重新變新鮮」的動更多收起可以想成:大熱天用冷水潑一下臉——沒有多出什麼新東西,只是把疲倦沖掉,人又回到原本清爽的狀態。這個「重新變新鮮」的動作比較像整個字:可以對人做、對記憶做、對空掉的杯子做,也可以對螢幕上的頁面做。
