喜樂美語

Start with the thread a spins — extremely fine, strong, and shiny — and the cloth woven from it: cool to the touch, smooth, with a soft gleam when the light moves across it. Almost everything else the word does comes from either that feel of the cloth or from who gets to wear it.

可以從蠶吐出的那根線開始想：極細、極韌、帶著光澤；再想它織成的布——摸上去涼涼滑滑，光線一動就有柔柔的亮面。silk 的其他用法，大致不是從這塊布的觸感長出來的，就是從「誰穿得起、誰被准許穿這種布」延伸出去的。
