Picture the edge of the little circle of light your mind can reach — everything inside it you know and understand. 'Ken' is that circle of knowing, and it lives almost only in 'beyond your ken': something that has fallen outside the light, too far for you to grasp.

可以想成你的心智能照亮的一小圈範圍:圈內的事你懂、你知道、你搆得著。ken 就是這圈『所知所懂的範圍』。這個字幾乎只更多收起可以想成你的心智能照亮的一小圈範圍:圈內的事你懂、你知道、你搆得著。ken 就是這圈『所知所懂的範圍』。這個字幾乎只活在 beyond your ken 這個片語裡——指某件事掉到那圈光之外、遠得你抓不住、理解不了。
