Picture a space closed on all sides — walls around it, a way in, and nothing leaking out. That sealed room is the whole word: it can be inside a body, inside a machine, inside a gun, or inside a palace, and it can be the grand hall where one particular group meets.

可以想成:一個四面被圍起來的空間——有牆、有入口,裡面的東西跑不出去。整個字就是這間密閉的房間:它可以在身體裡(心臟的四個腔室)、在機器裡、在槍裡,也可以在宮殿裡;而當這個房間專門給某一群人開會用時,它就成了議事廳。
