piping

n

核心畫面

One picture you can hold for this side of the word: a narrow tube. Something travels along the inside of it, and it leaves behind a thin raised line wherever it goes. A house has a whole run of these tubes hidden in its walls. A cord wrapped in cloth looks like one lying on the edge of a cushion. The tip of an bag is one you hold in your hand, and the line of on the cake is the mark it leaves.

這一邊的 piping，可以想成一根細細的管子。東西從管子裡走過去，沿路留下一條細細凸起的線。房子牆裡藏著一整套這樣…更多收起這一邊的 piping，可以想成一根細細的管子。東西從管子裡走過去，沿路留下一條細細凸起的線。房子牆裡藏著一整套這樣的管子，那是管線。抱枕邊上包著布的細繩，看起來就像一根小管子躺在邊緣，那是滾邊。擠花袋前端那個小口也是一根管子，擠出來留在蛋糕上的線條，就是它走過的痕跡。這是幫助理解的畫面，不是在說這幾個意思的歷史來源。

One branch

細管子，以及細管子留下的線

三個意思共用同一個畫面：一根細管。差別只在你看的是管子本身，還是管子留下的那條線。

noun · B2

All the pipes in a building, a machine or a vehicle, thought of together as one system that carries water, gas, steam or other liquid in and out.

管線

A second word, same spelling

核心畫面

The other side of the word has a different picture: a thin high sound coming out of a small pipe. Someone blows, and what comes out sits high up and stays narrow, so you can pick it out even when other sounds are louder. A child's voice does the same thing. So does a kettle just before it boils. This is a picture offered to help you hold the senses together, not a claim about where the word came from.

piping 的另一邊，畫面完全不同：一個又高又細的聲音，從一根小管子裡吹出來。有人一吹，聲音就跑到高處，而且細細的…更多收起piping 的另一邊，畫面完全不同：一個又高又細的聲音，從一根小管子裡吹出來。有人一吹，聲音就跑到高處，而且細細的。所以就算旁邊更吵，你還是分得出來。小孩子的聲音是這樣。水快滾的時候，水壺也是這樣。這個畫面是拿來幫你把幾個意思串起來的，不是在說它的來源。

From the picture

高而細的聲音
