Idea - 中譯構想、主意

1430, "figure, image, symbol," from L. idea "idea," and in Platonic philosophy "archetype," from Gk. idea "ideal prototype," lit. "look, form," from idein "to see," from PIE *wid-es-ya-, suffixed form of base *weid- "to see" (see vision). Sense of "result of thinking" first recorded 1645.

睇得到，好理想嘅形態就係 Idea. 當然，實踐起上嚟嘅時候，可能會離理想好遙遠。

All great historical ideas started as a utopian dream and ended with reality.

Coudenhove-Kalergi, Pan-Europa, 1923
