Think of holding a tape measure against something and reading the number off it. That number — how long, how wide, how tall — is the measurement. The word points first at the figure you end up with, and then, more loosely, at the whole business of going and getting that figure.
可以想成你拿著捲尺貼在東西上，然後讀出上面那個數字。那個「多長、多寬、多高」的數字就是 measurement。這個字先指你手上得到的那個數字，再往外一點，也指跑去把這個數字量出來的整件事。
