vaulting · sky-high hopes or plans

a

One way to see it: a launch upward and over. A body swings up onto the back of a moving horse; a hope shoots up past the height anyone expected. The same jump, once with a real body and once with what is inside a person.

可以想成一個往上躍過去的動作。一種是真的身體：人一撐，就跳上正在跑的馬背。一種是心裡的東西：希望、野心、樂觀往上衝，衝過一般人會停下來的高度。兩邊共用同一個畫面，差別只在跳的是身體還是念頭。
