    nationwide 是「全國每一個地方都有／都在發生」的形容詞，中文常說「全國性的」。畫面可以想成 nation（國家）加上 wide（很寬、涵蓋很廣）——像一張網鋪滿整個國家。它跟 national 容易靠近：national 多半講「跟國家有關的」（national flag、national holiday），nationwide 特別強調「範圍＝全國各地」。常見搭配：nationwide search、nationwide campaign、nationwide survey。

Picture a map of a whole country and a colour spreading right out to every edge of it — no city left white, no county missed. Nationwide sets the size of something at exactly one country: not one town, not the world.

可以想成：攤開一整張國家地圖，一片顏色從中間鋪到每一個邊角，沒有哪個縣市是空白的。nationwide 就是在標示規模——這件事的範圍剛好等於一個國家，不是只有一個城市，也還沒到全世界。
