喜樂美語

One way to hold it: lifting one thing out and setting it down where nothing else touches it. Everything around it is cleared away — the other people, the other causes, the other cells — so that what is left stands alone. Sometimes that is done to protect, sometimes to study, sometimes it just happens to someone.

可以想成把一樣東西單獨提出來，放在四周都碰不到它的地方：其他人、其他原因、其他細胞都被移開，剩下的那一個就自己站在那裡。有時候這樣做是為了保護，有時候是為了研究，有時候則是一個人不知不覺變成那樣。
