喜樂美語

Think of standing on a beach twice a day: the whole sea slides up the sand, then slides back out. Nobody pushes it and nobody can stop it — it is a huge, slow, regular movement that carries everything floating on it. Most of the other meanings are that picture lifted off the water and put onto events, feelings and crowds.

可以想成你一天兩次站在海邊看見的畫面：整片海水慢慢漫上沙灘，再慢慢退回去。沒有人推它，也沒有人擋得住，它就是那樣巨大、緩慢、規律地來回，浮在上面的東西全被它帶著走。tide 其他的意思，多半就是把這個水的畫面拿起來，蓋到事件、人心和人群上。
