One way to picture sequence: things laid out on a line, each one having a place before and after. The word can point at the arrangement itself (which comes first), or at the run of things sitting in it — but there is always a line, and the order on it matters.

可以想成 sequence 是把東西排在一條線上,每一個都有它的前面和後面。這個字可以指那個排法本身(誰先誰後),也更多收起可以想成 sequence 是把東西排在一條線上,每一個都有它的前面和後面。這個字可以指那個排法本身(誰先誰後),也可以指排在上面的那一串東西——但不管指哪一邊,那條線都在,而且順序是有意義的。
