喜樂美語

You can think of 'email' as letters that travel through the internet instead of through the post — one computer drops a message and another picks it up, almost instantly. From that one picture come the system itself, a single message, and the act of sending one.

可以想成：email 就是走網路、不走郵局的信。一台電腦把訊息丟出去，另一台幾乎立刻接到。從這個畫面長出三件事——這套「系統」、其中「一封信」、以及「寄這封信」這個動作。
