電腦裡的多媒體
好幾種管道一起用,而且是裝在同一台機器、同一個程式裡。
adjective · B1
Used about computers, programs and equipment that put sound, pictures, video and writing together in one thing to give you information.
多媒體的
Think of one message arriving by several doors at the same time: something to hear, something to watch, something to read. The word is not about quantity — it is about different kinds arriving together.
Formed from multi- (from Latin multus, 'many') plus media, the plural of medium, 'a way of carrying something'.
這個字由 multi- 加 media 組成。multi- 一路回到拉丁文 multus(多),media 是 medium(媒介、傳遞的方式)的複數。所以字面就是「好幾種傳遞方式」,這條線索和今天的用法幾乎重疊。
