core核心畫面

You can picture Asia as the name for the biggest single block of land on the map. Start at the Ural Mountains and walk east until you hit the Pacific — everything you crossed, plus the Middle East, India, China, Japan and a large part of Russia, sits inside that one name.

可以想成：把世界地圖攤開，最大的一塊陸地就用這一個名字蓋住。從烏拉山脈往東走，一直走到太平洋為止，中間走過的全部——中東、印度、中國、日本，還有俄羅斯的一大半——都在這個名字底下。它指的是地理上的一塊地，不是一個國家，也不是一個政府，所以裡面裝著非常不一樣的語言、宗教和生活方式。
