One way to hold this word: six things standing side by side and counted as one. Six cans in a plastic ring are the picture everyone starts from — you pick them up with one hand and pay for them once. After that the word travels by look and by count. Anything that shows up as six units in a row can borrow the name, whether it is muscle, metal or paper.

可以想成六樣東西並排在一起,然後被當成「一件」來算。最先浮現的畫面是塑膠環上的六罐飲料:一隻手提得走,結帳也只算一筆。之後這個字就靠「看起來像」和「數目剛好是六」往外走。只要某樣東西呈現成一排六個,都可以借這個名字用——不管那是肌肉、金屬還是照片。
