喜樂美語

You can picture a long, narrow strip you move along: inside a building it is the passage with doors on both sides, where nobody stays — you only pass through on your way to a room. Two things about that strip carry over into the word's other uses: it is long and thin compared with what surrounds it, and it is where people are in transit rather than settled.

可以想成一條又長又窄、只用來「經過」的帶子：在建築物裡，它就是兩側都是門的那條走道，沒有人待在那裡，你只是從這頭走到那頭，去某個房間。這張圖有兩個特點會被帶到其他用法上——一是它比周圍的東西細長，二是那裡是人「移動中」的地方，不是停下來的地方。所以地圖上一條細長、性質跟兩旁不同的地帶叫 corridor，而那些在走道上來回穿梭、真正把事情談定的場合，也用同一個字。
