為了共同目標而結盟
綁的線是「我們要一起達成某件事」——最原型的用法。
allied (joined in cause) · adjective · C2
Joined together because they share the same political, military, or business aims.
結盟的
Two things bound together on the same side — tied by a shared aim, or simply tied because they belong to the same family and lean on each other. The picture is of a knot between two parties.
From Old French alier, from Latin alligāre 'to bind to' (ad- 'to' + ligāre 'to bind'). The same ligāre gives ligament and oblige. An ally is literally someone bound to you.
經古法文 alier 來自拉丁文 alligāre「綁上去」(ad-「向」+ ligāre「綁」)。同一個 ligāre 也長出 ligament(韌帶)和 oblige(使負有義務)。所以 ally 字面上就是「被綁在你這邊的人」,而 allied 是「已經綁好了」的狀態——這條「綁」的線一路貫穿到「相關產業」那些用法:不是誰下令,是彼此扣在一起。

Connected with each other because they are similar or because they need each other, used about industries, trades, or groups.
