Out of danger — nothing can hurt, lose, or steal what is safe; it is protected, shielded, beyond reach of harm. From this one feeling grow all the uses: a safe place, a safe trip, a safe choice (low risk), the strong locked box that keeps things safe, and even slang greetings/approval among young people.

可以想成「離開危險、傷不到」這個感覺——安全的東西不會被弄傷、弄丟或偷走,它被護著、罩著,傷害碰不到它。所有用法都從更多收起可以想成「離開危險、傷不到」這個感覺——安全的東西不會被弄傷、弄丟或偷走,它被護著、罩著,傷害碰不到它。所有用法都從這個感覺長出來:安全的地方、平安的旅程、穩當不冒險的選擇、把貴重物鎖起來保平安的保險箱,甚至年輕人拿來打招呼、表示讚許的俚語。
