核心畫面

The part you play — like an actor handed a part in a play, told who to be and what to do on stage. That theatre picture is the oldest, most concrete one. From it grows the everyday sense: the 'part' a person or thing plays in a real situation, the share of the work or the effect they have, even when there is no stage at all.

可以想成「你扮演的那個角色」——像演員拿到劇本裡的一個角色，被告知要演誰、在台上做什麼。這個劇場畫面是最早、最具體的…更多收起可以想成「你扮演的那個角色」——像演員拿到劇本裡的一個角色，被告知要演誰、在台上做什麼。這個劇場畫面是最早、最具體的。從這裡長出日常的用法：一個人或一樣東西在真實情況裡所扮演的「角色」、所負責的那一份、所造成的影響——就算根本沒有舞台。
