- 1QWERTY鍵盤（標準英文鍵盤排列）
A qwerty keyboard is the ordinary English one: the top letter row starts Q, W, E, R, T, Y. Almost every computer and phone sold for English users is arranged this way, so people say “a qwerty keyboard” to mean “a normal one,” not a special machine. The name is not a brand and not a company — it is simply those six letters, read in order. Other countries use other layouts (French keyboards often start A, Z, E, R, T, Y), so qwerty is “the usual English-speaking way,” not “the only way in the world.” You will see QWERTY in capitals or qwerty in small letters; both mean the same. People also stretch it a little: “I’m used to qwerty” means “I’m used to this layout.” Everyday, slightly technical talk — not formal, not slang.
組成Not a built word: it is simply the first six letters on the top letter row of that keyboard, read in order — Q, W, E, R, T, Y.

QWERTYnoun/ˈkwɜːti/
- 1
computingengineeringmathematicsA standard layout of keys on a keyboard for typing, in which the leftmost keys of the top lettered row are Q-W-E-R-T-Y.
- It was the Monotype model D keyboard introduced in 1907 which became the standard for printers, with a "qwerty" typewriter lay and removable keybars which made the keyboard independent of the matrix case arrangement.
- The older children we came to know had had a great deal of experience with written language, and they certainly had a firm grasp of the alphabetic sequence. They were annoyed with the arrangement of letters on the typewriter keyboard, which begins at the second from the top row and proceeds left to right with the letters, "Q," "W," "E," "R," "T," and "Y." Computer professionals, who refer to this arrangement as the "QWERTY keyboard," have pointed out that, although it originated in order to avoid jam-ups of frequently used keys on the manual typewriter, the QWERTY arrangement is now completely obsolete but apparently here to stay. Third and fourth graders knew only that QWERTY had no logic that they could discern, and, until they developed basic keyboard familiarity, it greatly delayed their attempts at finding the keys they needed.
