核心畫面

Picture a shelf being emptied and filled again, over and over: the same space, but the things in it keep getting replaced. The word measures that turning — how much went through, or how fast. Swap the goods for staff and you get staff turnover; count the money that went through instead and you get the year's turnover.

可以想成:一個架子被清空、又被補滿,一次又一次——位置沒變,但上面的東西一直在換。這個字量的就是這個「翻過去」的動作更多收起可以想成:一個架子被清空、又被補滿,一次又一次——位置沒變,但上面的東西一直在換。這個字量的就是這個「翻過去」的動作:總共過了多少、或是換得多快。把貨換成員工,就是人員流動率;改算流過去的錢,就是一年的營業額。
