喜樂美語

You can picture a single hard, rectangular block of baked clay held in one hand — heavy, solid, one of thousands that stack up to make a wall. Almost everything else 'brick' means grows from this small, building unit.

可以想成：手裡一塊烤硬的黏土方塊，沉沉的、四四方方，一塊塊疊起來就成了一面牆。brick 的其他意思幾乎都從這個「又硬又可靠的小建材」長出來——它結實、規矩、可以堆疊。
