延長的／加大的
核心畫面
Extended is how something looks after it has been pulled out from where it started. A table with an extra leaf in it. A deadline pushed two weeks further down the calendar. A circle redrawn wider so more people stand inside it. An answer that keeps going after the point where a short one would have stopped. The starting shape is still there in every case; someone has taken one edge of it and carried it further out.

可以想成一樣東西被從原本的位置往外拉開之後的樣子。桌子中間加了一片板子。期限在月曆上往後推了兩週。圈圈重畫得更大，把更多人圈進來。一段回答在該停的地方沒有停，繼續往下講。每一種情況裡，原來的形狀都還在，只是有人抓住它的一個邊，往外多帶了一段。Three branches
時間上被拉長
同樣是往外拉，只是拉的方向換成了時間軸。而且這裡不一定有人動手，時間自己就拖長了。
adjective · B1
Lasting a long time, or lasting longer than people expected or planned.
長時間的／比預期久的
內容上被拉長
這一家拉的是話講到多深。文章或討論在該收尾的地方沒有收，繼續往細節裡走，所以同時又長又細。
adjective · B2
Long and full of detail, going deeply into a subject instead of treating it briefly.
詳盡的／深入的
