train track · noun
The pair of metal rails, fixed to the ground, that a train runs along.
鐵軌
Two steel rails on the ground, always the same distance apart, running straight on past where you can see. Stand close and the word means the metal itself. Step back far enough — onto a map — and the same two rails have become a single line joining one town to the next. Near and far are the whole word: the same thing, seen from a different distance.
地上兩條鋼鐵做的軌道，中間距離固定，一路延伸到看不見的地方。站近一點，這個詞指的就是腳邊那兩條鐵。退遠一點，退到地圖上看，同樣這兩條鐵已經變成一條線，把一個鎮接到下一個鎮。近看和遠看合起來就是這個詞：同一樣東西，只是距離不同。
