    The word has other lives too: in science, flux is a flow or a rate of flow through something, and in metalwork, flux is a substance you put on metal before soldering so the join is clean — that is a countable, ordinary noun you would buy in a shop. Same spelling, different worlds; the meaning here is the changing-situation one.

    The word has other lives too這個字還有別的用法: in science在科學裡 flux is a flow or a rate of flow through something flux指的是流動,或某樣東西通過的流量 and in metalwork而在金屬加工裡 flux is a substance you put on metal before soldering flux是焊接前塗在金屬上的一種物質 so the join is clean讓接合處乾淨 — that is a countable, ordinary noun you would buy in a shop那是一個你可以在店裡買到的普通可數名詞。Same spelling, different worlds拼法一樣,世界不同; the meaning here is the changing-situation one這裡講的是「情勢變動」這個意思
