You can picture durable as something that time and use cannot wear down: you keep dragging it out, knocking it about, leaning on it, and years later it is still doing its job. The word is not about being strong for one big moment — it is about holding up over a long stretch.

可以想成 durable 的畫面比較像「時間和使用都磨不掉它」:你天天拿出來用、碰來撞去,過了好幾年,它還是好好的在做它該做的事。這個字講的不是一瞬間夠不夠強,而是拉長來看撐不撐得住。
