核心畫面

Picture a table covered in a mess, and then the same table after someone has been through it: every item in its place, nothing left loose. That finished, everything-in-order state is what sorted names. Once you can see the table, the spoken uses follow easily. A plan can be tidied like that, and so can a person's supplies, and when the last thing drops into place you can say the word on its own.

可以想成一張亂七八糟的桌子,然後是有人整理過之後的同一張桌子:每樣東西都在位置上,沒有東西還散著。sorted 講的更多收起可以想成一張亂七八糟的桌子,然後是有人整理過之後的同一張桌子:每樣東西都在位置上,沒有東西還散著。sorted 講的就是這個「弄完了、都到位了」的狀態。看得到這張桌子,後面的口語用法就好懂了。一個計畫可以被這樣整理好,一個人手上的東西也可以,而當最後一塊到位時,這個字甚至可以單獨說出口。
