Picture something standing across your path so that you cannot simply keep walking: a gate, a fence, a line of mountains. Take the physical thing away and keep only its effect — you still cannot get through — and the same word covers rules, costs, and languages, and even a number nobody has managed to beat.

可以想成:有東西橫在你要走的路上,讓你沒辦法就這樣直直走過去——一道閘門、一排柵欄、一列山。把實體的東西拿掉、只留下它的效果(你還是過不去),同一個字就能拿來講規定、費用、語言,甚至一個至今沒有人突破的數字。
