- 1沙坑、沙箱。小孩玩的沙坑（英式說 sandpit）；電腦上的「沙箱」隔離環境，台灣資安、開發圈直接說沙箱
A low box or frame filled with clean sand for small children to dig and build in, usually in a garden, a park or a kindergarten. That is the everyday sense, and it is American English — in Britain the same thing is a 'sandpit'. Two extensions worth knowing, because your students will meet them sooner than the real box. In computing, a sandbox is a walled-off space where a program can run without touching anything else on the machine: if the program is bad, the damage stays inside. You will hear 'run it in a sandbox' and the verb 'to sandbox something'. That name came straight from the children's box — a place where you can make a mess safely. More widely now, any protected space for trying things out gets called a sandbox: a bank testing a new service under a lighter set of rules, or a piece of software with a 'sandbox account' for practice. Games use it too — a 'sandbox game' is one with no fixed story where you build and wander as you like, like Minecraft. There is also a small note about children: the sandbox is where children first learn to share, so English has the idiom 'plays well in the sandbox', said about a grown adult at work who cooperates with other people.
組成sand + box — a box of sand. The computer meaning is a picture borrowed from the children's one: a small closed area where mess cannot spread.
