今天我们要学的词是 afield.

afield 是远离（家园、话题）的意思。 A Nasa satellite tracking the Australian bush fires has shown that the smoke shrouding many of the country's major cities has moved as far afield as parts of China, Mongolia and Russia. 美国国家航空航天局的一颗追踪澳大利亚丛林大火的卫星显示，笼罩在澳洲许多大城市的浓烟已经漂移到远在中国、蒙古和俄罗斯的部分地区。

In the U.S. more than 3 million shelter animals are adopted every year. But if you can't find the animal you've been waiting for locally or even nationally, you can look even farther afield. 美国每年有300多万收容所的动物被收养。不过如果你在附近甚至全美范围内找不到你期待的宠物，还可以往更远的地方看看。
