Picture a desk where every single thing is where it belongs — pens in the pot, papers up, nothing left lying around. The word is about order rather than : a tidy room can still need dusting. From that picture come the person who keeps things that way, the act of putting them back, and even a mind that files its thoughts .

可以想成:一張每樣東西都在它該在的位置上的桌子——筆插在筆筒裡、紙疊得整整齊齊、桌面上沒有隨手擱著的東西。要注意它講的是「秩序」不是「乾淨」:一個 tidy 的房間還是可能有灰塵,clean 才是講乾淨。從這個畫面長出來的,有愛整齊的人、把東西歸位的動作,還有把想法也擺放得很有條理的腦袋。
