Before computers laid out magazines, someone sat with printed columns of text and pictures and stuck them onto a large sheet so you could see the whole page. That sheet is a paste-up: a paper dummy of a page, made with glue, that shows how the book or magazine will look when it is printed.

Before computers laid out magazines在電腦排雜誌之前, someone有人 sat with printed columns of text and pictures會拿著印好的文字欄和圖片坐下來 and stuck them onto a large sheet把它們貼在一張大紙上, so you could see the whole page這樣就能看到整頁的樣子。 That sheet這張紙 is a paste-up就是 paste-up: a paper dummy of a page也就是一頁的紙本樣稿, made with glue是用膠水做的, that shows how the book or magazine will look when it is printed用來呈現書或雜誌印出來會是什麼樣子。

Printers and magazine people印刷廠和雜誌社的人 used it用它 to check that a title sat in the right place來檢查標題有沒有放對位置, that a photo was not covering a word照片有沒有蓋到字, and that the page felt balanced整頁看起來平不平衡 — then the real pages were made from it之後才根據它做出真正要印的頁面。 It它 is a workshop word是個工作現場用的詞, not a sitting-room word不是客廳裡會說的詞。

You still hear it in print shops and among older designers; younger people doing the same job on a screen may never say it. Though actually, some studios still call the last paper proof they stick on the wall a paste-up, even when the work was done on a computer.

You你 still hear it in print shops and among older designers還是會在印刷廠、老一輩設計師之間聽到這個詞; younger people doing the same job on a screen年輕一輩用電腦做同樣工作的人 may never say it可能根本不會用這個詞。 Though actually不過實際上, some studios有些工作室 still call the last paper proof they stick on the wall a paste-up還是會把貼在牆上的最後一份紙本校樣叫做 paste-up, even when the work was done on a computer即使這份工作是在電腦上完成的。
