喜樂美語

Picture a shape that pushes forward out of a flat surface — a ridge on a map, a chin, a bone under the skin. Because it sticks out, your eye lands on it first. Move that from bodies and buildings to people and places in a room, and you get the whole word: whatever is prominent is the thing that comes forward and gets noticed.

可以想成：一個從平面上凸出來的形狀——地圖上的一道稜線、一個下巴、皮膚底下的骨頭。因為它凸出來，眼睛第一個就落在那裡。把這個畫面從身體、地形搬到房間裡的位置，再搬到社會裡的人，就是這個字的全部：prominent 的東西，總是那個往前站、最先被看到的。
