核心畫面

You can picture 'all' as a hand sweeping right around something to scoop up the whole of it — nothing left outside the circle. Whether it gathers up a group of things, a stretch of time, or a degree of some quality, the move is always the same: take in the entire amount, with no remainder.

可以想成一隻手繞著某樣東西畫一個圈,把整個都掃進來——圈外不留一點。不管圈住的是一群東西、一段時間、還是某種程度,動更多收起可以想成一隻手繞著某樣東西畫一個圈,把整個都掃進來——圈外不留一點。不管圈住的是一群東西、一段時間、還是某種程度,動作都一樣:把全部都收進來,一點都不剩。從這個「整個、毫無遺漏」的畫面,all 後面所有的用法都長出來。
