Picture two or more things brought into one shared space, doing the same thing side by side instead of apart. Almost every use of 'together' is some version of this: closing a gap so that separate things become 'with each other' rather than alone.

可以想成把原本分開的東西拉到同一個地方、做同一件事——本來各走各的,現在靠在一塊、彼此相伴。'together' 幾乎每個用法都是這幅畫面的變形:把中間的距離收掉,讓分開的東西變成「彼此在一起」,而不是各自孤立。
