Picture two threads being lifted up and tied together: one thread is the thing in front of you (a fact, an idea, a piece of information), the other is the topic everyone is actually talking about.

可以想成把兩條線拉到一起打個結：一條是眼前這個東西（某個事實、某個想法、某段資訊），另一條是大家此刻真正在談的主題。當這兩條線真的綁在一起、前者確實扣住並關係到後者時，這個東西就是 relevant。它不是說「重要」，而是說「跟這件事有直接牽連、講到點子上」——例如開會討論預算時，去年的花費紀錄就很 relevant，而天氣如何就扯不上邊。原始詞典資料4 筆記錄
