路上的停靠點
兩個用法共用同一個位置感：它在路上，不在終點。差別只在一個講的是真的鐵路，一個講的是任何旅程或人生階段。
noun · C1
A small railway station between the main stations, where trains stop only briefly, and in some cases only when someone signals them to stop.
鐵路小站
核心畫面
Picture a long railway line with two big stations at the ends, and one small platform sitting between them. The train stops there for a minute or two, someone gets off, and the train moves on. Nobody is travelling in order to arrive at that platform. Once you can see that small stop in the middle of a long line, the wider use follows on its own: any place, or any year of your life, that you pass through on the way to somewhere else.

可以想成一條很長的鐵路，兩端是大站，中間有一個小月台。火車在那裡停一兩分鐘，有人下車，然後繼續往前。沒有人是為了到那個月台才上車的。看見「長長的線中間那個小停靠點」這個畫面，另一個用法就自然跟著出來：任何你路過、但不會久留的地方，或人生中那段通往別處的日子。One branch
