核心畫面

Picture someone who has not just dropped by but has settled in: their things are , this address is where they sleep, and they will still be here next month. Residence can be thought of as 'the state of living somewhere and staying there', which is why the same word can point at the fact of living there, at the building they live in, at the paper that allows them to live there, and at an artist who has moved in for a season.

可以想成一個人不是路過,而是安頓下來了:東西攤開來了,這個地址是他睡覺的地方,下個月他還會在。residence 比更多收起可以想成一個人不是路過,而是安頓下來了:東西攤開來了,這個地址是他睡覺的地方,下個月他還會在。residence 比較像是「住在某個地方、而且待著」的這個狀態。抓住這個畫面,就會懂為什麼同一個字可以指住這件事、指他住的那棟房子、指准他住下來的那張證明,甚至指一位進駐一季的藝術家。

Three branches

住在某個地方這件事

核心畫面本身:安頓下來、住著。從這裡再長出兩個角度——開始住下來的那一刻,以及官方認可你可以住下來。

living somewhere · noun · C2

The fact of living in a particular place.

居住

住的那個地方

從「住這件事」滑到「住的那棟房子」——用行為的地點代替行為本身。因為這個字本身正式,指到的房子通常也不是普通住家,而是大宅或官方配給的住所。

official house · noun · C2

A house where someone lives, especially a large or official one.

住所/官邸

in residence:人就在那裡

把「住著」縮成一個標記,用來說某個人此刻確實待在那個地方,而不是掛個名。從這裡再長出一種安排:讓藝術家或作家住進學校、美術館一段時間。

in residence (living in a place at a particular time) · noun · C2

Used in 'in residence' to mean living in a place at a particular time.

在住/駐在
