核心畫面

A storm is violent weather breaking loose all at once — strong wind, heavy rain, thunder and lightning crashing together. Hold that picture: something powerful, sudden, loud and turbulent that sweeps in, , and won't be calmly controlled. Every other meaning of storm — a burst of anger, a charge into a place, someone slamming out of a room — is that same wild weather lifted off the sky and dropped onto people and events.

可以想成:一場狂暴天氣同時爆開——強風、大雨、雷電一起砸下來。抓住這個畫面:一股強大、突然、又吵又亂的力量猛地撲進來更多收起可以想成:一場狂暴天氣同時爆開——強風、大雨、雷電一起砸下來。抓住這個畫面:一股強大、突然、又吵又亂的力量猛地撲進來,把一切捲走、壓過去,沒辦法好好控制。storm 其他所有意思——一陣怒氣爆發、猛力衝進某地、有人甩門衝出去——都是把這場天上的風暴搬下來,蓋到人和事情上面。
