喜樂美語

One way to hold haemorrhage: something a body cannot do without is pouring out through a break, faster than it can be replaced, and it will not stop by itself. In a hospital that thing is blood. When the word is used about a company or a town, it is money, jobs and people. Either way the word carries the same alarm: the loss is fast, it is heavy, and nobody has closed the hole yet. The word can be the event itself (a noun) or the losing (a verb), but the picture does not change.

可以想成身體裡有一條管子破了。血往外湧，補不回來，也停不下來。這個畫面就是 haemorrhage 最原本的用法。把同一個畫面搬到公司或城鎮上，往外流的就變成錢、工作機會和人。不管用在哪一邊，這個字都帶著同樣的緊張感：流失得又快又多，而且洞還沒堵住。這個字可以當名詞，指那個事件本身；也可以當動詞，指正在流失的動作。畫面兩邊都一樣。
