1. 1

    Circuitry is the system of electric circuits inside a machine — the paths the current is meant to take, taken as a whole, not one wire. We talk about the circuitry of a phone, a radio, a car, a computer. It is a slightly technical word; and people who repair use it, and so do manuals.

    Circuitry is the system of electric circuits inside a machineCircuitry指的是一台機器裡整套電路系統 — the paths the current is meant to take, taken as a whole, not one wire電流本來要走的那些路徑,整體來看,不是單一一條線。We talk about the circuitry of a phone, a radio, a car, a computer我們會講一支手機、一台收音機、一輛車、一台電腦的電路。It is a slightly technical word這是個稍微技術性的字; electricians and people who repair gadgets use it電工和修理小家電的人會用它, and而 so do manuals說明書裡也會用。

    Circuit is the single loop or the named path; circuitry is the network. You do not usually count it (two circuitries sounds odd); you say the circuitry or a piece of circuitry.

    Circuit is the single loop or the named path; circuitry is the networkCircuit指的是單一一個迴路或那條有名字的路徑;circuitry指的是整個網絡。You do not usually count it (two circuitries sounds odd)這個字通常不會拿來數(two circuitries聽起來很怪); you say the circuitry or a piece of circuitry你會說the circuitry整套電路,或a piece of circuitry一部分電路。

    Though actually, people stretch it: writers talk about the circuitry of the brain, meaning the web of connections, not copper. That is a picture borrowed from electronics. The core sense, the one you need first, is still the electric system in a device.

    Though actually不過事實上, people stretch it人們也會把這個字延伸使用: writers talk about the circuitry of the brain作家會講到大腦的迴路系統, meaning the web of connections, not copper指的是那張連結的網絡不是銅線。That is a picture borrowed from electronics這是從電子學那裡借來的一種畫面。The core sense, the one you need first, is still the electric system in a device它最核心、你最先要掌握的意思,還是裝置裡的電路系統。

以下是外部詞典記錄的用法,原文照列,我們還沒有寫成教學內容。上面的說明才是我們自己寫的;有些用法可能上面已經講過了。

circuitrynoun/ˈsɜːkɪtɹi/

  • 1

    A specific system of electrical circuits in a particular device; (uncountable) the design of such a system.

    • Telemetering transmitter removed from its pressurized container. The circuitry for each of the 23 channels can be quickly unplugged for servicing.
    • After jettison of nose cap, all the detector circuitry became exposed to the radiation environment.
  • 2

    Electrical (or, by extension, other) circuits considered as a group.

    • In the microelectronics area, research and development efforts will concentrate on thin film circuitry, packaging and solid state electronics (work with transistors and the like). [...] The savings in weight over old-fashioned circuitry are important when the cost of items in orbit is figured at $1,000 per pound.
    • The source of that passion [according to René Descartes] is "animal spirits," a circuitry of mechanical energy—blood circulation, heartbeat, muscle tension—whose purpose is not to inform but to protect the body from harm. Although the circuitry operates automatically in animals, in men bodily energies also register on the soul so as to "incite the soul to correct and contribute to the actions which may serve to maintain the body."
  • 3

    The brain's neural network.

    • Since [Santiago Ramón y] Cajal's neural circuitry did not include inhibitory cells, he believed that short-axoned cells were important in maintaining a continuous and persistent activity in neural centers.
    • Some argue that the human brain contains structures or circuitry not found in the brains of other animals. [...] Others emphasize the massive increase in human brain size and posit that human behavior is an emergent phenomenon which reflects quantitative increases in neural processing capacity.
