    Don't forget to send us a postcard!

    逐字不要忘記寄給我們一張明信片！

    「postcard」核心意思是「不用信封就能寄的卡片」，一面常有風景或圖案，另一面寫短短幾句話。核心畫面可以想成「正面有圖、背面寫字就寄走的卡片」。常見動作：buy / write / send / receive a postcard。跟 letter 分開記——letter 通常要放進 envelope；postcard 就是那張卡本身。

core核心畫面

Picture a single stiff card: a photograph of somewhere on one side, and on the other a stamp, an address, and just enough room for a few lines. No envelope — which means whatever you write is open for anyone who handles it to read. That openness is what makes it short and cheerful rather than private.

可以想成：一張硬硬的卡片，一面是某個地方的照片，另一面貼著郵票、寫著地址，剩下的空白只夠寫幾行字。沒有信封——也就是說，你寫的東西沿路誰都看得到。正因為這樣，明信片上的話通常簡短、輕鬆、報平安，不會拿來講心事。
