Extended data:
Far is a polysemous word, which can describe both distance and abstract concepts or emotions. Literally, far can describe a place or a target far away from us.
For example, when we say "this city is far away from us", we are describing the geographical distance. Similarly, when we say "this goal needs long-term efforts to achieve", we are describing the distance between the goal and us.
In addition to geographical distance, "far" can also describe the passage of time. For example, when we say "recalling the past feels far away", we are describing the time distance between the past and the present. Similarly, when we say "the future is far away", we are describing the time distance between the future and the present.
In addition, "far" can also describe abstract concepts or emotions. For example, when we say "his thoughts are far away", we are describing that his way of thinking is different, or that his thoughts are not closely related to reality. Similarly, when we say "her heart is far away", we are describing that her emotional state is different from ordinary people, or that she has not expressed obvious feelings.
Far is a polysemous word, which can be used to describe many different meanings such as distance, time, abstract concept or emotion. When describing distance, we need to choose the appropriate description method according to the specific context in order to express our meaning better.
