You can picture something moving off from where you are, opening a gap — going off in another direction, or just sitting at a distance from you. From this one idea of 'a gap from here' everything spreads: being absent (away from work), measuring that gap in space or time (two miles away / a week away), tucking something off into its place (put it away), off until it's gone (die away), and keeping at an action on and on (work away). The sports 'away' game is the same gap — played off at the other team's ground, not here.

可以想成有個東西從你所在的地方移開,拉出一段距離——往別的方向走掉,或單純停在離你有點遠的地方。從「離開這裡、拉開一段距離」這一個念頭,所有意思都散開來:人不在(away from work)、把這段距離用空間或時間量出來(兩英里遠/還有一週)、把東西收到它該在的地方(put it away)、漸漸淡去直到消失(die away)、以及一個動作不停地做下去(work away)。運動裡的「客場」也是同一段距離——比賽在對方場地、不在這裡。原始詞典資料19 筆記錄
