用法
In its mathematical usage parallel is an absolute term— two lines either do or do not intersect—and as such does not admit of qualification as to degree. Some grammarians have argued that this restriction should apply as well to nontechnical uses of the word. According to this logic, one may not say The two roads have been made more parallel, except perhaps as a loose way of saying what is rendered more precisely by expressions such as more nearly parallel. Like the analogous objection that has been made to the comparison of equal, the point betrays a misconception about the relation between mathematical concepts and their ordinary-language equivalents. Applied to objects in the world, parallel can only denote a rough approximation to a geometric ideal. A pair of rails or parked cars cannot be truly parallel in the mathematician's sense of the term but only more or less so, just as a road or shelf cannot be truly straight in the geometric sense but nonetheless may be described as very straight or relatively straight. The grammarians' compunctions make even less sense when applied to metaphorical uses of parallel, as in The difficulties faced by the Republicans are quite parallel to those that confronted the Democrats four years ago, in which the intended meaning has nothing to do with the possibility of intersection but instead suggests the structural correspondence of two distinct situations. In this sense, parallelism is clearly a matter of degree and the word parallel can be modified accordingly. See Usage Note at equal, perfect, unique
在數學用法中，parallel 是一個絕對的表達法—— 兩條線要麼相交，要麼就不相交——它既沒有限定性也沒有程度差別。一些語法學家曾提出，這種限制也應該適用於該詞在非科技方面的用法，按照這種邏輯，人們不能說這兩條路已被修得更加平行了， 除非作為用例如更接近於平行 這樣的表達方法更精確地表示的東西的不夠精確的說出方法。 象對equal 的比較所做的類似反對一樣， 這個觀點使數學概念與普通用語中等價詞之間的關係引起誤解。當運用到世間的實物時，parellel 僅能指與幾何理想狀態大致接近的狀況。 一對鐵軌或停放的車輛不可能按數學家對於這個術語的理解來真正地相互並行，而不過是大致平行而已，正如公路和架子不可能是真正幾何意義上的筆直，但仍可被描繪成很直的或相對而言的筆直。在用到parallel 的比喻用法時，語法學家的不安就更顯得意義不大了， 例如：共和黨人所面臨的重重困難與四年前民主黨人遇到的困難十分相似， 在這句話中，該詞的引申意義與相交的可能性毫無關係，然而它暗指了兩種不同情況結構上的一致。在此意義上，相似性明顯是程度的問題，相應地，parallel 一詞也能被其它詞限定修飾了。 參見 equal， perfect， unique
