覆蓋一大片的東西
從「一張可以拿起來的薄東西」變成「攤在那裡的一整面」:不再數得出是一片還是兩片,重點是它把底下的東西整個蓋住了。
ice or water sheet · noun · B1
a wide flat area of something like ice or water that covers a surface
一大片
Picture snapping a bed sheet open so it floats out flat before it settles. Three things are true of it: it is wide, it is thin, and it has no shape of its own until something holds it. English hands that same picture to paper, to metal, to ice on a lake, and even to rain when it comes down in one solid curtain.

船上控制帆的繩索
這一支不是從「薄布」比喻來的,而是另一條路走進英文:它來自古英語 sceatline(帆索),縮短自 sceata「帆的下角」,那個字原本才是「一塊布」。也就是說,繩子是以它抓著的那個帆角命名的。
