Once you get that, once you get the value, "Christmas tree," as opposed to "red lights," "red lights" being perhaps a part of some Christmas trees, then you see that you're back in a semiotic system and a very obvious one, because a Christmas tree is a not-menorah, not-Kwanzaa candles.
一旦认识到这点,红灯,指的其实是圣诞树“,红灯是圣诞树的一部分,那么你会发现你回到了符号学的解释中,圣诞树不用于犹太教或者非洲人的节日。
