組織與國家的界線
畫的那圈線是一個群體的邊界——公司、學校、國境。事情在裡面辦完，不外流。
internally, within an organization · r · C1
In a way that stays inside a company, school, or other group, rather than going to people outside it.
在內部
核心畫面
One way to hold it: draw a boundary line around something — a body, a company, a country, a mind — and this word says the action happens on the inside of that line, not across it and not outside it.

先在某個東西外面畫一圈界線——可能是一個身體、一家公司、一個國家、一顆腦袋——然後 internally 說的是：這件事發生在那圈線的裡面，沒有跨出去，外面的人也看不到。真正要學的其實不是這個字本身，而是每次遇到它時反問一句：這次畫的那圈線，是哪一圈？答案換了，中文翻譯就換了，但英文一直是同一個畫面。所以它幾乎總是和一個沒說出口的 rather than externally 成對出現。From the word’s history
internal + -ly. The Latin root is internus 'inward, inside', from inter 'within, between' — so the 'inside the boundary' picture is there from the start.
就是 internal 加上副詞字尾 -ly。internal 往上追是拉丁文 internus（裡面的），來自 inter（在……之內）——所以「界線裡面」這個畫面從詞根就在了，英文只是把它從形容詞變成描述動作的副詞。
internal + -ly (Latin internus, from inter), per the origin note supplied with this entry
Three branches
身體與物體的裡面
這一支的界線是實體的表面：皮膚、外殼、牆壁。裡面和外面看得見摸得到。
internally, inside the body · r · C1
In a way that happens inside your body, not on the skin or on the outside.
在體內
心裡面
最後一條界線畫在人的表情和內心之間：外面沒表現出來，裡面正在發生。
internally, inwardly (mind) · r · C1
In a way that happens in your thoughts or feelings, rather than in the outside world.
在內心
