喜樂美語

Picture something wrapped up into one bundle with edges you can see: this much, and no more. That bounded portion is the thread — a package tied for the post, a marked-off piece of land, a little pastry parcel with the filling closed inside.

可以想成：一樣東西被包成一包，邊界清清楚楚——就這麼多，不多不少。這個「圈出來的一份」是三個意思的共同線索：綁好要寄的包裹、從大片土地劃出來的一塊地、還有把餡包在裡面的酥皮小包。
