    Connexion is a British spelling of connection. It means the same things: a joining, a relationship, a train or bus link, and so on. It is not a different word with a different job.

    Connexion is a British spelling of connectionConnexion是connection的英式拼法。It means the same things它的意思都一樣: a joining, a relationship, a train or bus link, and so on連接、關係、火車或公車的轉乘連結等等。It is not a different word with a different job它不是一個有不同用途的不同字。

    Though actually, even in Britain this spelling now feels old. Connection has almost completely won in everyday writing.

    Though actually不過其實, even in Britain this spelling now feels old就算在英國,這種拼法現在也讓人覺得老派了。Connection has almost completely won in everyday writingConnection在日常書寫裡幾乎已經完全勝出。

    You still see connexion in older British books, in some very formal or traditional writing, and in a few set names — the Methodist Church still talks about “the Connexion.” American English did not take this spelling up; school English in Taiwan almost always wants connection.

    You still see connexion in older British books你還是會在比較舊的英國書裡看到connexion, in some very formal or traditional writing也會在一些非常正式或傳統的文章裡, and in a few set names還有少數固定的名稱裡看到—— the Methodist Church still talks about "the Connexion."衛理公會Methodist Church至今仍然講『the Connexion』。American English did not take this spelling up美式英文沒有採用這種拼法; school English in Taiwan almost always wants connection台灣的學校英文幾乎都要求寫connection。

    If you meet it, read it as connection and move on. You rarely need to write it.

    If you meet it如果你遇到它, read it as connection and move on就把它當成connection來讀,然後繼續往下看就好。You rarely need to write it你很少會需要自己動手寫這個字。
