Picture a shape being laid over an outline that already exists, and matching it. The outline can be how everyone around you behaves, an official rule, or a pattern people expect — in each case, conform means falling into that shape rather than standing outside it.
可以想成：把一個形狀疊到一個已經畫好的輪廓上，剛好對上。那個輪廓可以是周圍所有人的行為方式、一條官方規定，或是大家預期的某種模式——不管哪一種，conform 講的都是「落進那個形狀裡」，而不是留在外面。
