核心畫面

Picture a line drawn to mark 'this much and no more' — and then rubbed out. Strictly, that is the word: no ceiling, take as much as you like. Loosely, English uses the same word when the amount is so big that nobody is going to reach the ceiling anyway.

可以想成:本來有一條線寫著「到這裡為止」,然後那條線被擦掉了。嚴格來說,這個字就是這個意思:沒有上限,你要多少拿多少更多收起可以想成:本來有一條線寫著「到這裡為止」,然後那條線被擦掉了。嚴格來說,這個字就是這個意思:沒有上限,你要多少拿多少。寬鬆一點用的時候,英文也拿同一個字來形容「多到根本碰不到那條線」的量。
