核心畫面

You can picture agree as two minds that line up — they look at the same thing and land in the same place, no gap between them. Hold that 'they line up' picture and the rest follow: saying yes to a plan, talking until you both settle on one decision, two facts that line up and match, and even the polite move of lining up on the fact that you DON'T line up.

可以把 agree 想成「兩顆心對齊了」——看著同一件事,落在同一個位置上,中間沒有縫。抓住「對齊、合得上」這個畫面更多收起可以把 agree 想成「兩顆心對齊了」——看著同一件事,落在同一個位置上,中間沒有縫。抓住「對齊、合得上」這個畫面,其餘用法就順著出來:對一個計畫點頭說好、兩人談到都落在同一個決定上、兩份資料彼此對得上,甚至連「客氣地對齊在『我們其實對不上』這件事上」也算。
