A CD-RW is a compact disc you can record onto more than once. RW stands for rewritable.

A CD-RW「CD-RW」 is a compact disc you can record onto more than once是一種你可以重複燒錄的光碟片。 RW stands for「RW」代表 rewritable「rewritable可重複寫入」。

With the right drive on a computer, you can put music or files onto it, erase them, and use the disc again — like a slower, older USB stick in disc form. It is not as tough as a USB stick: if you scratch it, it can fail.

With the right drive on a computer只要電腦上有對的燒錄機, you can put music or files onto it你就可以把音樂或檔案放進去, erase them清除它們, and use the disc again然後再重複使用這片光碟 — like a slower, older USB stick in disc form有點像是光碟版、比較慢、比較舊型的USB隨身碟。 It is not as tough as a USB stick它沒有USB隨身碟那麼耐用: if you scratch it如果刮傷了, it can fail它就可能壞掉。

Also, not every CD player can read a CD-RW; some older music players only like ordinary pressed CDs or CD-Rs. People bought CD-RWs when they wanted a disc they could change; if they only needed to burn something once, they used a cheaper CD-R.

Also另外, not every CD player can read a CD-RW不是每一台CD播放器都能讀取CD-RW; some older music players有些比較舊的音樂播放器 only like ordinary pressed CDs or CD-Rs只認一般壓製的CD,或是CD-R。 People bought CD-RWs當年大家會買CD-RW when they wanted a disc they could change想要一片可以更改內容的光碟時; if they only needed to burn something once如果只需要燒錄一次, they used a cheaper CD-R就會用比較便宜的CD-R。

Both are much less common now, but the contrast still matters: RW means you can do it again, R means once.

Both are much less common now這兩種光碟現在都少見得多了, but the contrast still matters但這個對比仍然重要: RW means you can do it again「RW」代表可以重複使用, R means once「R」代表只能用一次。
