One way to hold it: the word carries 'fantasy' inside it — something that came out of the imagination, not out of ordinary life. Whatever it describes has outside the normal range: too magical, too big, too good, or too unlikely to be real.
這個字底下藏著「fantasy/幻想」那個字根。原本的畫面是腦中浮現的、現實裡不存在的東西——會飛的獸、發光的森林、一座憑空長出來的城。那種東西的共同點是:它超出你日常經驗的邊界,所以你看到時第一個反應是「這也太……了吧」。整個字後來走的每一條路,都是從這個「超出日常尺度、幾乎像幻想出來的」畫面延伸出去的:往「離譜地大」走、往「離譜地好」走、往「離譜地不可能實現」走。差別只在超出的方向,不在超不超出。
