喜樂美語

You can picture length as the distance from one end of something to the other end — the answer to 'how long is it?', measured straight along the thing from start to finish. Every other use of length stretches this one idea: along time instead of space, along a text, or even a literal long thin piece you can hold.

可以想成從一頭量到另一頭的那段距離——回答『它有多長？』，沿著東西本身從起點筆直量到終點。length 其他所有意思，都是把這個『從這端到那端』的概念拉到別的地方：拉到時間上、拉到一篇文章上，甚至拉成你手裡那一截又長又細的東西。
