喜樂美語

Picture countless bright points held together in one huge swirl — not scattered at random, but belonging to the same system. The word names that gathering: a great many shining things, all in one place. English then lends the picture to a room full of famous faces.

可以想成：無數個亮點被收在同一個巨大的漩渦裡——不是隨便散落，而是屬於同一個系統。這個字指的就是那樣一大群聚在一起的、會發光的東西。抓住「一大群 × 都在發亮」這個畫面，就會懂為什麼英文也拿它來形容一屋子的名人。
