One way to hold this word: a sheet pressed so thin out of plant material that light comes through it. That thinness is the whole word. English calls it paper because of how it looks and feels in the hand — flat, pale, stacked in sheets — not because of what it is made from and not because of what you do with it. One kind takes ink and spreads it. One kind takes water and goes soft enough to eat. Same picture, two rooms.
可以想成一張薄到透光的植物薄片。「薄」就是這個字的全部。英文叫它 paper，是看它的樣子：平、白、一張一張疊著——不是因為它一定是米做的，也不是因為你一定拿它寫字。一種吸墨，筆一碰就暈開；一種吸水，泡軟了可以包起來吃。同一個畫面，兩個房間。
