Picture the piece of paper that arrives after the work is done, listing what was supplied and what is now owed. It is not a receipt (that comes after payment) and not a quote (that comes before the work) — it is the request, sent at the point where the money becomes due. The same word becomes the verb for sending it.

可以想成:工作做完之後寄來的那張紙,上面列著給了什麼、現在該付多少。它不是收據(收據是付完款才有),也不是報價單(報更多收起可以想成:工作做完之後寄來的那張紙,上面列著給了什麼、現在該付多少。它不是收據(收據是付完款才有),也不是報價單(報價在做事之前)——它是「請你付款」這個動作發生的那一刻寄出的請求。同一個字也直接當動詞,表示把它寄出去。
