喜樂美語

核心畫面

One way to hold it: keeping an eye on something over time to catch what changes. Not one glance — a steady watch, so that a rising number or a slipping standard shows up early. English then names the (a person) and the thing that does the watching for us (a screen, a machine) with the same word.

可以想成長時間盯著一樣東西，好看出它哪裡變了。不是看一眼，而是持續地看，數字一往上跑、狀況一走樣就會被發現。英文接著…更多收起可以想成長時間盯著一樣東西，好看出它哪裡變了。不是看一眼，而是持續地看，數字一往上跑、狀況一走樣就會被發現。英文接著把「看的人」（觀察員、值日生）和「替我們看的東西」（螢幕、儀器）都叫做 monitor。
