You can picture towards as an arrow pointing from where you are to where you face — you may not arrive, but you are turned that way and closing the gap. Every other use keeps that arrow but aims it at something other than a place: a result, a person you feel something for, a cost, or a moment in time you are nearing.

可以想成:一支從你所在指向你面對的方向的箭頭——不一定會抵達,但你已轉向那邊、正在縮短距離。其他用法都保留這支箭,只是把箭頭指向「地點」以外的東西:一個結果、一個你對他有感覺的人、一筆費用,或一個正在逼近的時間點。
