Picture a boundary line — the skin of a body, the wall of a company, the border of a country — and then picture your finger on the far side of it. External is that far side. What changes between the uses is only which boundary you have in mind; the relationship is always the same one: outside this, not part of it.

可以想成:一條界線——身體的皮膚、公司的牆、國家的邊界——你的手指點在線的外面那一側。external 就是外面那一側。幾個用法之間變的只有「你心裡想的是哪一條界線」,關係從頭到尾都一樣:在這個範圍之外,不屬於它裡面。所以讀到這個字時,先問自己:這裡的界線是什麼?
