Extended is to generate a new meaning from the original meaning. It is difficult to select the word meaning in the word "new. First, English words have extended meanings. In this case, we need to carefully look up the dictionary and select the most appropriate meaning from many meanings. Second, the meaning of all words in the dictionary is not appropriate. New Meanings must be created based on the needs of Chinese translation, and new meanings must be associated with their original meanings. For example, the word "good" has extended meaning "strong, vigorous (strong, strong)" in English. Therefore, his eyesight is still good. his eyesight is still very strong." (Good is extended from "Good" to "strong "). In the example below, good can be extended to "high ". To produce strong X-rays the tube had to be made a very good vacuum. to generate a strong Ray, the tube must be in a high vacuum.
