边界, 界限
a dividing line, marker, or limit that separates one geographic area, property, or physical space from another
A boundary is a line or limit that marks the edge or border between two areas or spaces. It defines where one area ends and another begins. Boundaries can be physical, such as fences or walls, or they can be more conceptual, like legal or social limits. They help establish clear distinctions between different regions, ensuring order and defining who has control or access to certain areas.

边界, 界限
(cricket) the scoring of four or six runs by hitting the ball to or over the designated outer edge of the field
In cricket, a boundary refers to a hit that reaches or crosses the edge of the field. If the ball crosses the boundary line along the ground, it scores four runs. If the ball crosses the boundary line without touching the ground, such as in the air, it scores six runs. Boundaries are highly valued in cricket because they quickly add runs and are often the result of powerful, well-timed shots.
