Picture something leaving one point and arriving at another with nothing carrying it by hand — a signal off an aerial, a disease from one person to the next, light coming through glass. Transmit is that crossing of a gap: the thing sent stays the same, only its position changes. Whether the gap is filled by radio , by contact, or by the glass itself, the word holds.

可以想成:某樣東西從一個點離開,抵達另一個點,中間沒有人用手把它捧過去——訊號從天線發出去、疾病從一個人身上到另一個更多收起可以想成:某樣東西從一個點離開,抵達另一個點,中間沒有人用手把它捧過去——訊號從天線發出去、疾病從一個人身上到另一個人身上、光穿過玻璃。transmit 講的就是「跨過那段距離」:被送的東西本身沒變,變的只是它在哪裡。中間那段是無線電波、是接觸,還是那片玻璃,都不影響這個字成立。
