喜樂美語

Picture blood going round a body: it leaves the heart, travels the whole loop, and comes back. Circulate can be thought of as that closed round trip — something moves through a system, touching every part, and nothing leaks out of the loop. Whatever is circulating gets everywhere: blood to every finger, air to every corner of the room, news to every desk in the office. That is why the word feels different from just 'move' or 'send': it carries the picture of full coverage, going round rather than going straight.

可以想成血液在身體裡跑一圈：從心臟出發，走完整個迴路，再回到心臟。circulate 就像是這個封閉的來回——東西在一個系統裡移動，走遍每個角落，而且不會漏到系統外面去。凡是 circulate 的東西，最後都會抵達每一處：血送到每根手指，空氣吹到房間每個角落，消息傳到辦公室每一張桌子。所以它跟單純的 move 或 send 感覺不一樣：它帶著「繞一圈、全都覆蓋到」的畫面，是繞著走，不是直線走。
