核心畫面

Picture a soldier holding a broad flat board in front of his body: whatever is thrown at him hits the board, not him. Two things come out of that picture — the job it does (standing between you and harm) and its outline (wide at the top, coming to a point at the bottom). Every other use of the word takes one or the other.

可以想成一名士兵把一塊又寬又平的板子舉在身前：飛過來的東西打在板上，打不到人。這張圖同時給了兩樣東西——它的功能（擋…更多收起可以想成一名士兵把一塊又寬又平的板子舉在身前：飛過來的東西打在板上，打不到人。這張圖同時給了兩樣東西——它的功能（擋在你和傷害中間），還有它的輪廓（上寬下尖）。shield 後面的各種意思，大致就是分別接走了這兩樣其中一樣。

From the picture

盾的形狀（獎座、徽章）

這一族接走的是盾的輪廓而不是它的功能：上寬下尖的那個外形本身變成了一種樣式，被拿去做徽章、獎座和警徽。東西再也不用來擋任何東西，只是長成盾的樣子。

heraldic emblem · noun · C1

a drawing or model shaped like a shield, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, used as a symbol for a family, school, or team

盾形徽章

擋在中間保護（作用與動作）

這一族接走的是盾的功能而不是外形：只要有東西擋在傷害和被保護的人之間，就算它長得一點也不像盾，英文照樣用這個字。

    • Kinetic barriers, colloquially called "shields", provide protection against most mass accelerator weapons. Whether on a starship or a soldier's suit of armor, the basic principle remains the same. Kinetic barriers are repulsive mass effect fields projected from tiny emitters. These shields safely deflect small objects traveling at rapid velocities. This affords protection from bullets and other dangerous projectiles, but still allows the user to sit down without knocking away their chair.

    • Arduino does many interesting things on its own, but it can't do everything. Fortunately, thanks to the open design of Arduino, building add-on boards to extend what Arduino can do is pretty easy. ¶ These boards are called "shields," because they usually fit over the top of Arduino like a protecting shield. ¶ Shields contain their own circuitry, components, and sometimes processing chips that can augment Arduino's capabilities. There are shields that enable Arduino to read GPS signals, drive robot motors, take pictures, connect to Bluetooth devices, control electroluminescent wire...as of this writing, there are more than 300 shields.
