if we stand on land, we have a common understanding, we take the land as a granted foundation for our existence, a granted condition that allows our interacting with one another. If we are at sea on a boat, we cannot take that foundation for granted, we know that the relation we form in the little community of our boat is necessary to prevent us from sinking. Undercommoning is to form a common bond that is necessary for us to hold on and avoid drowning.

如果我們站在陸地上,我們就有共同的理解,我們把這片土地視為存在的堅實基礎,一個允許我們相互交流的條件。若我們在海上乘船,我們則無法將這個基礎視為理所當然,我們知道在船上形成的小社群關係,對避免溺水是必要的。存有式的共生之姿形成一個共同的點(bond),是我們得以抓住並避免沉溺所必需。
