Picture eight runners in the blocks. One of them moves a fraction too early, a whistle goes, and everybody stands up and walks back. Nothing has been lost except the start itself — the race is still ahead of them, still at zero. That is the picture the whole expression carries: not a thing that went wrong halfway through, but a beginning that did not count, followed by the walk back to the line.
可以想成八個人蹲在起跑架上。其中一個早了那麼一點點動了，哨聲一響，大家站起來走回起點。什麼都還沒損失，只是那個「開始」不算了——比賽還在前面，一切回到零。整個詞帶的就是這個畫面：不是跑到一半出事，而是開頭不算數，然後所有人走回線上重來。
