Think of 'duty' as the job a thing has been handed. Two bags hang side by side in a shop: same shape, same size, but one has been given the heavy job and is built for it — thicker plastic, wider seams, a base that will not let go. Heavy-duty always points at that second one. It is not a comparison with the whole world, only with the ordinary version of the same thing, and the word never really tells you the weight; it tells you how hard the work is going to be.

可以把 duty 想成「這樣東西被交代的工作」。店裡並排掛著兩個袋子:形狀一樣、大小一樣,但其中一個被交代了粗重的工作,所以做得不一樣——塑膠更厚、車線更寬、底部拉不開。heavy-duty 指的永遠是後面那一個。它比的不是全世界,只是「同一種東西的普通版」。而且這個字其實沒在講重量,它講的是接下來的工作有多硬。
