Picture a dark hall with rows of seats all turned towards one big bright screen. That room is the first thing cinema names. From there the word stretches in two easy steps: first to the evening you spend in that room (going to the cinema), and then to everything that fills the screen — the films themselves, and the whole art and business of making them. Room, outing, art form: one bright in the dark holds all three.

可以想成一個暗暗的大廳,一排排座位全都朝著同一面發亮的大銀幕。cinema 最先指的比較像那個空間。從那裡,這個字很自然地往外長:先長成你在那個空間裡度過的那個晚上(go to the cinema 看電影),再長成銀幕上放的一切——影片本身,以及拍片這門藝術和這個行業。場所、活動、藝術,就像都是從黑暗中那塊發亮的長方形延伸出來的。
