suspension

Non-PRO English to Chinese Social Sciences Other 克苏鲁神话相关
Say that my first twenty-two years were static, on a waiting plane; say that the early days at my Uncle Sylvan’s coast house were a time of suspension between that earlier plane and that which was to come; the turning point came surely with my discovery—and yes, reading—of the papers.

这个词在语境中 是指 飞行的一段时间吗? 然后在下次飞机起飞前 会有转向 之类的过程 指代转折点什么的。
不知道这么理解对不对
还是说有其他含义

世忠 张 (asker) Oct 30, 2023:
按转机理解,中途停留时间,等待起飞这架飞机就不太合理了,
目前差不多的理解是 等待起飞 然后下架飞机到来 差不多是 短暂停留的时间内 转折点似乎是 起飞这一刻,这样合理吗 您觉得?

中途停留站 / 中途停留的时间

作者说 “that earlier plane and that which was to come”,所以 suspension 就像中途等待转机的地方或时间。
