核心畫面

One way to hold it: stand in a doorway and look at a fitted carpet. It starts at the wall under your feet and runs, without a break, to the wall on the far side. No bare floor shows anywhere. That is the whole word — not just a lot of something, but something reaching edge to edge with nothing left over. Every other use borrows that completeness and puts a different thing on the floor: hours, news reports, or people.

可以想成站在門口看一間鋪滿地毯的房間。地毯從你腳下那面牆開始,一路鋪到對面那面牆,中間沒有斷。四周一點原本的地板都看更多收起可以想成站在門口看一間鋪滿地毯的房間。地毯從你腳下那面牆開始,一路鋪到對面那面牆,中間沒有斷。四周一點原本的地板都看不到。整個詞講的就是這件事。重點不只是「很多」,而是「從這頭到那頭都滿,什麼都沒剩下」。其他用法都是借用這種「鋪滿」的感覺,只是換掉地板上的東西——換成時間、換成新聞、換成人。

From the picture

時間、版面和空間也被鋪滿

把地板換成別的東西,畫面完全不用改:滿鋪地毯不留空隙,一整天的行事曆、一整晚的頻道、一整個大廳也可以不留空隙。這是概念上的延伸,不是另一條歷史來源。
