core核心畫面

Picture the deed to a house or the name on a car registration. Ownership is not the thing itself and not the feeling of having it — it is the relationship: this belongs to that person, and the law will back it up.

可以想成：房屋所有權狀上的那個名字，或行照上的車主欄。ownership 不是那樣東西本身，也不是「擁有」的感覺，而是一段關係——這個東西屬於那個人，而且法律會站在他那邊。因為講的是關係而不是物品，它是不可數名詞，不會說 an ownership 或 ownerships。
