    in, at, or to another place; somewhere different from here

    示範例句 · Example

    If this shop doesn't have the book, we can look elsewhere.

    逐字如果這家店沒有這本書，我們可以去別的地方找。

    「elsewhere」是一個副詞，等於 in／to another place（在別的地方、去別的地方），一個字就把「其他地方」講完，比 in another place 更簡潔、更書面。可以想成 else（其他）+ where（地方）拼成的一個字，所以就是「其他地方」。常說 look elsewhere（去別處找）。

core核心畫面

Picture standing in one spot and jerking your thumb off to the side: not here — some other place, left deliberately unnamed. 'Elsewhere' packs that whole gesture into one word. It never tells you which place; it only tells you that this one is ruled out.

可以想成你站在一個地方，用拇指往旁邊一比：不是這裡，是別的地方——至於是哪裡，刻意不講。elsewhere 就像把這個手勢壓成一個字：它從來不告訴你地點是哪裡，只告訴你「不在這兒」。
