The dark stretch of each day, after the sun goes down, when most people sleep. From this one dark block come two simple moves: backward into the evening (the hours after work, before bed), and into a set of everyday phrases — saying goodnight, doing something night after night, an early or a late night.

可以想成一天裡那段天黑下來、太陽落下、大家準備睡覺的時間。從這一塊黑夜,延伸出兩個很自然的方向:一是往前推到傍晚(下班放學後、睡覺前那幾個鐘頭),二是一串日常片語——道晚安、夜復一夜地做某事、早睡或晚睡的一晚。
