core核心畫面

Picture someone lighting a cigarette or a pipe, drawing the smoke in, and letting it out again. The word names that act — and, stretched over time, the settled habit of doing it: the thing a sign means when it says No smoking, or that a doctor means when asking whether you have given it up.

可以想成這樣一個畫面:一個人點起菸或菸斗,把煙吸進去、再吐出來。smoking 指的就是這個動作本身;把時間拉長一點,它也指「長期都在做這件事」的那個習慣——所以牆上寫 No smoking 是禁止這個動作,醫生問你 give up smoking 則是問那個習慣。
