核心畫面

Picture a line drawn around something so it cannot spread past it. Sometimes the line is physical (a small room, an arm that will not lift further), sometimes it is a rule (only these people may enter, only this much may be sold). Either way, something that could have gone further has been held inside a boundary.

可以想成:在一樣東西外面畫了一條線,它就不能越過去。有時候那條線是實體的(一個小房間、一隻抬不高的手臂),有時候那條更多收起可以想成:在一樣東西外面畫了一條線,它就不能越過去。有時候那條線是實體的(一個小房間、一隻抬不高的手臂),有時候那條線是規定(只有這些人能進、只能賣這麼多)。不管哪一種,畫面都一樣:本來可以更大、更多、更自由的東西,被框在界線裡面。

規定畫出來的界線

把那條線從實體換成規定:不是做不到,而是不准越過——法律、公司或軍方畫下界線,超出就不允許。
