除了表达观点,point还可以表示目的和意义。我们做任何事情都需要有它的point,如学习有学习的point,工作有工作的point,生孩子有生孩子的point。我们完全可以用point这个比较形象的词来代替purpose, goal, objective这些比较抽象的词。反过来说,point是这些词的祖宗,这些词都是在point的基础上生成的。在英语中,意义(meaning)和用处(function)也是从“目的”发展过来的,所以在很多场合也可以用point代替。如“我的生活失去了意义”,你可以说成:
1705089876
1705089877
My life has lost its meaning.
1705089878
1705089879
也完全可以说:
1705089880
1705089881
My life has lost its point.
1705089882
1705089883
事情要有意义我们才会去做,不然我们就会问:
1705089884
1705089885
Whats the point of doing something?

有了点之后,紧接着要做的事情就是把它们连成线,这是line的重要性仅次于point的原因。
