核心畫面

Picture a strip of ground where the grass has gone. Thousands of feet have pressed the soil flat and hard, until the way itself is visible from a distance. Nobody drew that line; walking made it. Two things come with such a path at once: it is easy — you cannot really lose it — and it is ordinary, because everyone ahead of you went exactly this way. Both of those feelings travel with the word wherever it goes.

可以想成一條草都被踩光的地面。幾千雙腳把土踩得又平又硬,遠遠就看得出路在哪裡。那條線不是誰畫的,是走出來的。這樣一條更多收起可以想成一條草都被踩光的地面。幾千雙腳把土踩得又平又硬,遠遠就看得出路在哪裡。那條線不是誰畫的,是走出來的。這樣一條路同時帶著兩件事。第一,它好走,你幾乎不可能走丟。第二,它很平凡,因為走在你前面的人全都是這樣走的。這兩種感覺會跟著這個字,不管它用在哪裡。
