喜樂美語

You can picture 'privacy' as a wall you can pull around yourself — a space where no one else can see you, hear you, or reach into your life. The basic picture is physical (being alone behind a closed door); from there it stretches to information (a wall around the facts about you that you don't want others looking behind).

可以想成你能拉到自己四周的一道牆——一個別人看不到、聽不到、也伸不進來的空間。最基本的畫面比較像實體的（關上門、一個人待著）；從這裡再延伸到資訊上（在「關於你的事」周圍築一道牆，不讓外人看到牆後面）。
