畫線分隔的通行帶
把「被兩邊夾住的窄帶」這個畫面抽象出來，畫到寬闊的路面、跑道或海面上：用線（或約定）把一大片切成好幾條平行的窄帶，每個人各走各的一條、不越界。

車道
核心畫面
Picture a narrow strip hemmed in on both sides — a path just wide enough to pass along, with a hedge, a wall, or a painted line holding it in. Every meaning is that same bounded strip, whether it is dirt, tarmac, a running track, or an invisible route across the sea.

可以想成一條兩邊被夾住的窄帶——剛好夠通過的一條道，旁邊有樹籬、有牆、或畫了線把它框住。lane 的每個意思都是這條「被兩邊夾住的窄帶」，不管它是泥土路、柏油、跑道，還是海上一條看不見的航線。From the word’s history
From Old English lanu 'a narrow hedged-in road', a common Germanic word for 'a passage between enclosing lines'. That fenced-in narrowness is exactly what has stayed constant through every modern sense.
來自古英語 lanu，意思是「兩旁有樹籬夾住的窄路」，是日耳曼語系裡的老字，核心比較像「被兩條邊界夾住的通道」。這種「被夾住的窄」正是所有現代意思一路保留下來的東西。
