Picture searching a map and finding no dot at all — not one place fits. Nowhere is that empty result. English then puts the empty result to work in three ways: an effort that arrives at no place (you got nowhere), a distance measured to nothing (nowhere near), and a thing whose starting point cannot be found (out of nowhere).
可以想成：你在地圖上找了一圈，一個點都對不上——沒有任何地方符合。nowhere 就是這個「空的結果」。英文接著把這個空結果拿去做三件事：一個努力最後沒抵達任何地方（get nowhere，沒進展）、一段距離量起來遠到看不見終點（nowhere near，差得遠）、一樣東西找不到它的起點（out of nowhere，突然冒出來）。
