分不開(實體或概念)
這一家就是核心畫面本身:拉不開。
unable to separate (ideas) · adjective · C2
Not able to be pulled apart, or not able to be thought about as two separate things.
密不可分
One way to picture it: two things that cannot be pulled apart — try to separate them and you find there is no seam to pull along.
From Latin īnsēparābilis: in- (not) + separabilis (able to be separated), itself from separare, to pull apart.
來自拉丁文 īnsēparābilis,拆開就是 in-(不)+ separabilis(分得開的),而 separare 本身就是「把…拉開、分開」。所以這個字從造出來的第一天起,講的就是「分不開」這件事——現代英文用它形容感情好到黏在一起的兩個人,其實還是同一個畫面,只是把「拉不開」從物體搬到了關係上。
