1. 1n/ˈɡræfɪks/圖形 / 圖像

    Pictures, drawings, or designs made to show objects or information, especially the ones you see on a computer or in a game.

    graphics 指「用來呈現東西或資訊的圖畫、圖案、圖像」,特別是電腦、電玩、網頁上看到的那些。它通常用複數形,把螢幕上所有的圖當成一整組來講(the graphics are great)。可以想成:文字以外,畫面上一切「看得到的圖」就是 graphics。

From the word’s history

From Latin graphicus, from Greek graphikós 'of painting or drawing, of writing', from gráphō 'to scratch, carve, write'.

源自希臘文 graphikós「繪畫的、書寫的」,來自 gráphō「刻、寫」。

Wiktionary

Picture everything on a screen that is shown rather than written out: the drawings, the shapes, the charts, the world inside a game. The word covers pictures made to show something — an object or a piece of information — not pictures made only to be looked at as art.

可以想成:畫面上所有「用看的、不是用讀的」東西——插圖、形狀、圖表、遊戲裡的整個世界。這個字指的是為了呈現某樣東西或某個資訊而做出來的圖,重點在「表達」,跟純粹當作藝術欣賞的畫不一樣。
