Picture running your finger along something to find out where it stops — the far edge of a piece of land, the last row of damaged crops. This word names how far the thing reaches. English then lifts that measuring off the ground: how far a problem reaches, and even how far a statement holds true.

可以想成:用手指沿著一樣東西摸過去,看它到哪裡為止——一塊地的邊界、災損延伸到第幾排作物。這個字說的就是「它伸到多遠」。接著英文把這把尺從地面拿起來:一個問題延伸到多大,甚至一句話成立到什麼程度。
