The limits or borders that define where something ends; can refer to physical edges or abstract limits (such as rules or possibilities).
用法与细微差别
Mostly plural ('the bounds of'), quite formal; common in the phrase 'know no bounds' (meaning unlimited). Often about abstract limits (e.g., 'bounds of reason'), or physical borders. Not to be confused with 'bounce' (jump). Can also mean a leap in very old-fashioned English.
