core核心畫面

One way to hold it: a feeling strong enough to move you. Love, fear, anger, joy — something rises inside and your face, your voice, your body all change with it. It is not a quiet opinion; it is a feeling with force in it.

可以想成一種強到會推著你走的感覺。愛、怕、生氣、開心——它從裡面湧上來，連帶著你的表情、聲音、身體都跟著變。emotion 講的不是淡淡的想法，而是有力量、有溫度的那一種感覺；英文說 speak with emotion，就是講話時聲音裡帶著這股力量。
