    「simultaneous」講的是兩件事落在同一個時間點,沒有誰先誰後。可以想成兩條線並排往前跑,起點跟終點都對齊;就像從拉丁文 simul(一起)長出來的。日常說話台灣人多半直接說 at the same time,simultaneous 常出現在說明書、新聞和會議場合(simultaneous translation 同步口譯)。形容詞 simultaneous 放名詞前,副詞 simultaneously 放動詞後。

可以想成兩件事共用同一段時間:不是一前一後,也不是誰先起頭、誰再跟上,而是兩個動作剛好壓在同一格時間裡。這個字的作用就是把「同時」這件事講死——強調沒有先後之分。
