核心畫面

One picture can carry the whole word: two hands holding something and turning in opposite directions, hard, until whatever is inside is forced out. With a wet towel, water comes out. With a person, an answer or a refund comes out. With a heart, pain comes out. Every use of wring keeps that same tight twist somewhere in it.

wring 的各種意思,可以想成都從同一個畫面長出來:兩隻手抓住一樣東西,往相反方向用力一扭,直到裡面的東西被逼出來更多收起wring 的各種意思,可以想成都從同一個畫面長出來:兩隻手抓住一樣東西,往相反方向用力一扭,直到裡面的東西被逼出來。扭的是濕毛巾,出來的是水;扭的是一個不情願的人,出來的是答案或退款;扭的是心,出來的是痛。不管走到哪一個意思,那個「用力扭一下」的動作都還在裡面。
