當成材料的管子
這一族看的是洞:東西從裡面流過去,所以重點在材質和長度。
noun · B2
Tube-shaped material, or a set of tubes joined together into a system, used for carrying water, air, gas or other liquid.
管材;管路
You can think of a tube: a hollow ring of rubber, plastic or metal with a hole running through the middle. Everything the word does comes from that ring — sometimes from what can travel through the hole, sometimes from the fact that a person can sit in it.
Wiktionary records tubing as tube + -ing.
Wiktionary 記的就是 tube 加 -ing。-ing 在英文裡可以做兩件事:一是把東西變成材料的總稱,像 piping、wiring;二是把動作變成一項活動,像 camping、cycling。tubing 兩種都用上了,這正好對應到它的兩族意思。
