Wiktionary

Hold up an old sweater to the window. Light comes through in twenty places at once — small holes, everywhere, not one big tear. Nothing about it is still whole, and nobody is going to it hole by hole. That is the whole word. Keep the picture and change what is making the holes: insects, rust, rot — or mistakes, bugs, damp, guilt. Once you can see the light coming through, both uses are the same sight.

把一件舊毛衣舉到窗邊。光同時從二十個地方透進來——都是小洞，到處都是，不是一個大破口。整件沒有一塊是完好的，也沒有人會一個洞一個洞去補。這個字可以想成就是這個畫面。畫面不動，只換造成洞的東西：蟲、鏽、腐爛，或者錯誤、bug、霉、愧疚。只要看得到光透進來，兩個用法看到的其實是同一幕。
