There is a dimension to the problem that we have not discussed. 這問題還有一方面我們沒討論過. dimension, NOTE ON USAGE 用法:
1 It is sometimes difficult to decide whether length (adj long), width (adj wide) or depth (adj deep) is the correct term for a particular measurement. 對於物體某一邊的量度, 在length (adj long)、 width (adj wide)或depth (adj deep)中選用哪個才對, 有時頗難確定. The measurements of a room or of a rectangular area or object are the length (measured along the longer sides) and the width (measured along the shorter sides) 量度房間或長方形的面積或物體, 用length（長度, 沿較長的邊量得）和width（寬度, 沿較短的邊量得）表示
The garage is 6 metres long and 3 metres wide. 汽車房長6米, 寬3米. When describing a piece of furniture that has a front and a back, both length and width can be used for the longer sides and depth is used for the measurement from front to back. 在形容一件有前後之分的家具時, length和width均可用以指較長的邊, 而depth（深度）則指從前面到後面的尺寸. Length is generally used when the measurement of the front is much greater than that of the depth. 若前面的長短遠遠超過深度, 一般用length. *Width is used when the measurements of the front and of the depth are similar. 若前面的長短與深度相似, 則用width. (See illustration 見插圖. )
2 Compare wide and broad. 試比較wide和broad. Wide is the more general word but broad is used of parts of the body *wide適用范圍較廣, broad則特指身體的部位: a broad nose 大鼻子
broad shoulders 寬闊的雙肩. Otherwise it is more formal than wide and is often used, especially in literary language, to describe features of the landscape 在其他情況下, broad比wide更文雅, 尤其在文學語言中常用以描繪景色: a broad river 寬闊的河
a broad expanse of unspoilt country 一片廣袤的、 自然美未受破壞的郊野.
