補上需要的那件器具
最貼近字源的那一面：工作缺了什麼，你就拿什麼來補——那個「什麼」就是 implement。
a tool · noun · B2
A tool or simple piece of equipment used to do a job, especially work in a garden or on a farm.
器具 / 工具
核心畫面
Picture a gap that needs filling, and the thing you reach for to fill it. A in the shed is an implement because the job has a hole in it — you need something to dig with, and the fills that need. The verb is the same move with a plan instead of a hole in the ground: a decision has been made but nothing has happened yet, and to implement it is to fill in that empty space with real action until the plan is complete. One picture, two shapes: the tool that fills a need, and the doing that fills out a plan.

可以想成有一個缺口等著被填滿，而你伸手去拿的，就是能填住它的那個東西。工具間裡的鏟子之所以叫 implement，是因為這件工作缺了一塊——你需要能挖土的東西，鏟子剛好補上那個缺。動詞是同一個動作，只是缺口換成了一個計畫：決定已經做了，可是什麼都還沒發生，implement 就是拿實際行動去把那片空白填滿，直到計畫真正落地。一個畫面，兩種樣子：填補需要的器具，和把計畫填實的執行。From the word’s history
The noun came into English in the mid-15c from Late Latin implementem, 'a filling up', from Latin implere 'to fill up, make full' (in- 'into' + plere 'to fill'). Its first English use was a supplementary payment needed to complete a repayment; by the 1530s it had settled on 'a workman's tool'. The verb is much later (1707, originally Scottish legal English) and was formed from the noun, meaning 'to complete, carry into effect'. So the tool and the action are the same idea in two shapes: whatever supplies what is still missing so the job is whole.
名詞在十五世紀中期進入英文，來自晚期拉丁文 implementem（填滿），源自拉丁文 implere「填滿、使完整」（in- 進入 + plere 填）。最早在英文裡指的是「為了還清欠款而補上的那筆錢」，到了 1530 年代才定型成「工匠的器具」。動詞晚得多（1707 年，最初是蘇格蘭的法律用語），是從名詞造出來的，意思是「使完成、付諸實行」。所以器具和執行其實是同一個想法的兩種樣子：補上還缺的那一塊，讓事情變得完整。

把計畫填實、真正做出來
缺口從「工作缺一件器具」換成「計畫缺實際動作」。決定已經在紙上了，中間還空著，implement 就是把那段空白填成真的發生過的事。
