core核心畫面

A rule exists on paper; this is the part where somebody makes it actually bite — the patrol car, the inspection, the fine. Without it the rule is only words, so the word names the force that stands behind the rule.

可以想成：規定寫在紙上是一回事，真的讓它發生作用是另一回事——巡邏的警車、上門的稽查、開出來的罰單。沒有這一層，規定就只是文字。這個字指的就是站在規定背後、讓它真的有牙齒的那股力量。
