liner

noun

核心畫面

For this group you can picture the layer that sits inside something else. A bin has a bag in it. A cake tin has a paper cup in it. A coat has a soft layer buttoned into it. A record case has a folded sheet of paper tucked into it. In every one of those pictures the outside thing is the container, the inside layer is thin and shaped to fit, and it can be pulled out and replaced when it is dirty, worn, or simply finished with. Whatever we call the container, the liner is the layer we put in.

這一組的 liner 可以想成「鋪在裡面的那一層」。垃圾桶裡有一個袋子。烤模裡有一張紙杯。外套裡扣著一層保暖布。唱片更多收起這一組的 liner 可以想成「鋪在裡面的那一層」。垃圾桶裡有一個袋子。烤模裡有一張紙杯。外套裡扣著一層保暖布。唱片盒裡夾著一張摺好的紙。畫面都一樣:外面是容器,裡面那層又薄又合身,而且拿得出來、換得掉。容器叫什麼不重要,我們鋪進去的那一層就叫 liner。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary records this group as line (verb) + -er: the verb line means to put a layer inside something, so a liner is the thing that does that.

Wiktionary 把這一支記成 line(動詞)+ -er。動詞 line 指「在裡面鋪一層」,加上 -er 就成了「鋪在裡面的那個東西」,剛好對得上內襯和唱片內頁兩個用法。

鋪在裡面的那一層

這一家的兩個意思都是同一個動作的結果:有人把一層東西鋪進容器裡。差別只在容器是垃圾桶還是唱片盒,鋪進去的是塑膠袋還是印了字的紙。

liner

noun

核心畫面

For this group the picture is a line. A shipping company draws a route on a map and runs the same ships along it, week after week, and the ship that keeps to that line is a liner. A batter hits a ball so flat and fast that it travels almost along a straight line, and that hit is a liner too. Someone draws a fine dark line along the edge of an , and the pen that draws it is a liner. The line may be a route, a flight path, or a stroke of make-up, but something is following a line in every case.

這一組的畫面可以想成一條線。船公司在地圖上畫一條航線,固定派船跑同一條路,跑那條線的船就叫 liner。打者把球打得更多收起這一組的畫面可以想成一條線。船公司在地圖上畫一條航線,固定派船跑同一條路,跑那條線的船就叫 liner。打者把球打得又平又快,球幾乎沿著一條直線飛出去,那一球也叫 liner。有人在眼皮邊緣描出細細的一道,用來描的那支筆同樣叫 liner。這條線可能是航線、可能是球的軌跡、也可能是臉上的一筆,但都有東西正沿著一條線走。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary records a second, separate route for this group: line (noun) + -er — the noun line meaning a route or a row, not a lining.

Wiktionary 把這一支另外記成 line(名詞)+ -er,跟「內襯」那一支來源不同。這裡的 line 是航線、路線、一排的意思,不是「鋪一層」。眼線那個意思來源沒有直接說明歸在哪一支,這裡是依畫面歸類的,屬於教學上的整理,不是歷史主張。

跑固定航線的大船

把那條線畫在海圖上,沿著它跑的船就是這一家:路線固定、時間固定,所以才會有這個名字。

noun · B2

客輪;郵輪

一條線:畫出來的,或打出去的

這一家不走海上,改把「線」放到別的地方:一條畫在眼皮上的線,一條球飛出去的線。都是沿著線走,只是這條線短得多。

noun · B2
