尺寸·數量很大（本義）

big/sizeable · adjective · A1
Big in size, amount, or number, like a large house, a large family, or a large amount of money.
大的；大量的
Hold one picture: something that takes up a lot of space, or covers a lot — big in size, amount, or number. A large house, a large crowd. From this 'big, wide-reaching' image come two paths: when something is 'at large' it has spread out into the open and roams free (an escaped prisoner; 'the public at large' = the whole wide group of people); and when you talk about 'the larger picture' or 'in large part', you zoom out to the big, general view rather than the small details.
可以想成：佔了很多空間、或涵蓋很廣的東西——大小、數量、數目都很大。一棟大房子、一大群人。從這個「又大又涵蓋很廣」的畫面分出兩條路：一是某樣東西 at large，散到了開闊處、自由地到處跑（在逃的犯人；the public at large＝廣大的全體民眾）；二是講 the larger picture 或 in large part 時，把鏡頭往後拉，看的是大方向、整體，而不是小細節。
