核心畫面

Picture a door that stays shut. A friendly person leaves their door open — they smile, they talk, they help you in. Unfriendly is that same door closed: often nothing openly cruel happens, you simply are not let in and you feel you are not wanted. The same shut door can belong to a person, to a place, to a rule or a machine, or to a whole country.

可以想成一扇沒有打開的門。friendly 的人會把門敞著:對你笑、願意跟你講話、願意幫忙;unfriendly 就更多收起可以想成一扇沒有打開的門。friendly 的人會把門敞著:對你笑、願意跟你講話、願意幫忙;unfriendly 就是同一扇門關著——通常沒發生什麼很兇的事,但你就是進不去,感覺得出自己不受歡迎。這扇關著的門不一定屬於某個人,也可以是一個地方、一條規定、一台機器,甚至一個國家給你的感覺。
