核心畫面

Think of someone riding along the top of a wave: they never sink in, they never stop moving, and they let the surface carry them from one place to the next. That skimming-along-the-surface picture is what the word lends to the internet.

可以想成一個人站在浪頭上往前滑:他不往下沉、也不停下來,就讓表面帶著他從一處移到另一處。這種「貼著表面、輕快地移動」更多收起可以想成一個人站在浪頭上往前滑:他不往下沉、也不停下來,就讓表面帶著他從一處移到另一處。這種「貼著表面、輕快地移動」的畫面,後來被借去講上網——所以 surfing 講的從來不是深入,而是滑過去。
