可以想成一座被水團團圍住的小島——沒有橋、沒有路連到別的地方。isolated 的畫面比較像這種「被切開、單獨擺在那裡」的狀態：四周跟別人、別的東西都斷了線。From the word’s history
From Latin insula 'island', via insulatus 'made into an island'. To isolate something is literally to turn it into an island — surround it so nothing reaches it. That island picture still sits inside every modern sense.
來自拉丁文 insula「島」，經 insulatus「被做成一座島」而來。isolate 字面上就是「把某樣東西變成一座孤島」——用水把它圍起來，讓別的東西碰不到它。這座島的畫面一直藏在今天各個意思裡。
