How it's used
While this term specifically refers to the physical line marking the end of a race, it is frequently used metaphorically in daily life to describe the final stage of a long project or goal. It carries a sense of relief and anticipation, often paired with verbs like 衝過 or 到達. Unlike more abstract terms for goals, this word implies a visible, tangible conclusion to an effort.
