前進
核心畫面
You can picture 'progress' as forward — moving ahead along a path toward where you want to be. Sometimes the path is real ground (walking forward), sometimes it's a skill or a task (getting closer to done), sometimes it's society or time itself moving on. In every case the arrow points the same way: away from the start, on toward the goal.

可以想成 progress 是「一步步往前走」:沿著一條路朝你想到的地方前進。有時這條路是真的地面(人在往前移動),有時是一項技能或工作(離完成越來越近),有時是社會或時間本身在往前推。不管哪一種,箭頭都指向同一個方向——離開起點,朝目標走去。From the word’s history
From Latin 'progressus', from 'pro-' (forward) + 'gradi' (to step, walk) — literally 'a stepping forward'. The modern core, both the physical 'moving forward' and the figurative 'getting better', is this same step-forward image.
來自拉丁文 progressus,由 pro-(向前)加 gradi(踏步、行走)組成,字面就是「向前踏一步」。現代核心,不論是具體的「往前移動」還是比喻的「變得更好」,都是同一個往前邁步的畫面。
