core核心畫面

Think of pointing at a big group and then pulling one or two members up to say 'these are inside it too'. 'Including' draws a circle around a set and confirms a particular thing sits within that circle, not outside it.

可以想成你指著一大群東西,再把其中一兩個拎出來說「這些也算在裡面」。including 就是在一堆東西外面畫個圈,確認某個特定的東西是在這個圈裡,而不是圈外。

From the word’s history

From Latin includere 'to shut in, enclose' — in- 'in' + claudere 'to close'. The picture is of closing something inside a boundary, which is exactly what 'including' does: it places a member inside the set being talked about.

源自拉丁語 includere「關進去、圍起來」——in-(裡面)+ claudere(關閉)。畫面是把某個東西關進一個界線裡,這正是 including 在做的事:把某個成員放進正在講的那一群裡面。
