    逐字這個樂團在全世界都有粉絲,從台北到紐約。

    worldwide 形容一件事的範圍「涵蓋全世界」,可以想成把它攤開到地球上每一個角落。放名詞前面當形容詞(a worldwide reputation 全球知名度),也常放句尾當副詞(sold worldwide 賣到全世界)。跟 global 很接近,worldwide 更帶「一國一國加起來、到處都有」的感覺。

core核心畫面

The word is built from exactly what it looks like: world + wide, 'as wide as the world'. Picture something spreading out until it has touched every part of the globe — not one country, not a few big cities, but everywhere.

這個字看起來是什麼,就是什麼:world(世界)+ wide(寬),也就是「寬到跟世界一樣大」。可以想成一件事往外攤開,一直攤到地球上每個角落都碰到了——不是一個國家,也不是幾個大城市,而是到處都有。
