核心畫面

You can picture 'such' as a pointing-back word: it grabs a kind, a type, or a degree that has just been put on the table, and says 'one of THOSE / THAT much'. Whatever was just described becomes a category, and 'such' reaches into that same category.

可以把 such 想成一個「往回指」的詞:前面剛描述過某種人、某種東西或某種程度,such 就伸手指回那一類,說「就更多收起可以把 such 想成一個「往回指」的詞:前面剛描述過某種人、某種東西或某種程度,such 就伸手指回那一類,說「就是那一種 / 就那麼大的程度」。前面立起一個類別,such 再從同一個類別裡撈一個出來——所以它的核心畫面比較像「同一類、同一個程度」,而不是某個具體東西。
