喜樂美語

Picture a line drawn around 'us' — our country, our group, our way of doing things — and something standing on the other side of it. The word says: this belongs elsewhere. How far away that elsewhere is keeps stretching: another country, another world, or simply a way of thinking that feels nothing like yours.

可以想成：在「我們」外面畫一條線——我們的國家、我們這群人、我們習慣的做法——然後有個東西站在線的另一邊。這個字說的就是：它屬於別處。那個「別處」可以一路拉遠：另一個國家、另一個星球，或者只是一種你完全無法理解的想法。所以從「外國的」到「外星人」到「格格不入」，都是同一條線的不同距離。
