- 1影響深遠的
Something far-reaching has a great influence or effect. It reaches a long way into other parts of life: a far-reaching law can change many people’s days; a far-reaching decision can still matter years later. You will hear it in news, school, and serious talk more than in chat with friends. It can praise or warn, depending on whether the effect is welcome. It does not mean the idea is unlikely — that is , a neighbour that only looks the same.
這個字的意思是影響深遠，指一件事的效果會伸進生活的很多地方，句型是「a far-reaching ＿＿」，例如「a far-reaching law」，一條影響深遠的法律，可以改變很多人的日子；一個決定也可能多年後仍然有影響。它常出現在新聞、學校和正式的談話中，比朋友之間閒聊時少見。
這個字可以是讚美，也可以是警告，要看這個影響是好是壞。它描述的是影響的範圍和力道，不是在說想法有多不可能。那個意思是「far-fetched」，指說法牽強、不太可能成真。
組成far + reaching. Reaching here means “stretching out to touch a lot of things.”
