- 1按滑鼠右鍵；點右鍵（台灣說「滑鼠」，大陸說「鼠標」）
To right-click is to press the button on the right side of a computer mouse. That click usually opens a small menu of extra jobs: copy, paste, delete, properties, and so on. People also use it as a noun: a right-click. On a laptop you may tap with two fingers, or hold a key and click; we still call it a right-click even when there is no real right button. Though actually, the menu is not one list for the whole computer — it changes with the program and with what you are pointing at. This is everyday computer talk. It has nothing to do with being right in the sense of correct.
「right-click」是動詞，指按滑鼠右邊的按鍵。這一下通常會跳出小選單，裡面有複製、貼上、刪除、內容等功能。它也能當名詞，例如「a right-click」。在筆電上即使沒有實體的右鍵，人們也會用兩指輕點，或按住一個鍵再點，仍然叫 right-click。
選單不是整台電腦都一樣，會隨著程式和你指向的東西而改變。這是日常的電腦用語，和 right 的「正確」意思沒有關係。
組成right (the right-hand side) + click (to press a button). It names that mouse button, not a 'correct' click.
