核心畫面

You can picture a round trip as a loop drawn on a map. The line leaves your door, reaches some far point, and curves back to the same door. The loop says nothing about how far, how long, or by what vehicle. It only says that the end is the beginning — which is why everything you measure about it, distance or time, has to include both halves of the curve.

可以想成在地圖上畫一個圈。線從你家出發,走到某個地方,再繞回同一個門口。這個圈本身沒有說多遠、多久,也沒有說搭什麼。更多收起可以想成在地圖上畫一個圈。線從你家出發,走到某個地方,再繞回同一個門口。這個圈本身沒有說多遠、多久,也沒有說搭什麼。它只說一件事:終點就是起點。因為是一個完整的圈,量它的距離或時間時,兩段都要算進去——這就是這個詞最容易被漏掉的地方。

One branch

一整圈:出去,再回到原點

兩個用法共用同一個圈,差別只在這個圈被放在哪裡:一個是那趟路本身,一個是貼在票上說明票涵蓋的範圍。

noun · B1

A journey to a place and back again to the place you started from. The going and the coming back count as one trip, so a distance or a time given for it covers both halves.
