核心畫面

Picture money that was supposed to change hands and has not: the bill still sitting there. Which side you look from decides the meaning — from the bill's side it is still owed, from the worker's side no money ever came for the hours put in.

可以想成:本來該轉手的一筆錢,還沒轉——那張帳單還擺在那裡。從哪一邊看,意思就往哪邊走:從帳單那邊看,是還沒繳;從做更多收起可以想成:本來該轉手的一筆錢,還沒轉——那張帳單還擺在那裡。從哪一邊看,意思就往哪邊走:從帳單那邊看,是還沒繳;從做事的人那邊看,是做了卻沒領到錢。

From the picture

做了沒領錢

換一邊看同一筆沒發生的付款:時間和力氣付出去了,錢沒有回來。
