Picture the price tag attached to breaking a rule: cross this line and this is what it costs you — a fine, a lost point, a free shot for the other side. The word always looks backwards at something that was done, and names what comes back at you because of it.
可以想成：違規這件事上面掛著一張價目牌——你越過這條線，就要付這個代價：罰款、失分，或是讓對手獲得一次機會。這個字永遠是回頭看的：先有某個行為或某個處境，才有落到你頭上的那個後果。運動場上的用法也是同一個邏輯，只是「價目牌」上寫的是比賽裡的損失。
