A glitch is a small, sudden fault in a machine, a computer, or a piece of equipment that makes it stop working right for a moment: the screen freezes, an app closes itself, a light flickers for no clear reason. People also stretch it, a little loosely, to any small unexpected problem in a plan — a glitch in the schedule.
A glitch一個glitch is a small, sudden fault是一個突然發生的小故障 in a machine, a computer, or a piece of equipment存在於機器、電腦或某項設備裡，that makes it stop working right for a moment讓它有那麼一下子沒辦法正常運作：the screen freezes, an app closes itself, a light flickers for no clear reason像是螢幕當機、應用程式自己關閉、燈莫名其妙閃爍。People人們 also stretch it, a little loosely也會把這個詞用得鬆一點 to any small unexpected problem in a plan用在計畫裡任何一個小小的意外問題——a glitch in the schedule像是行程上的一個glitch小狀況。
The machine sense was made famous in the 1960s by the US space program; American astronaut John Glenn used it in 1962 for little in electrical current. The word itself probably comes from , where a glitsh is a slip, from German words for 'slippery' and 'to slide' — so the picture is something that slips, just for a second.
