喜樂美語

From the word’s history

From Middle English visual, from French visuel and Late Latin vīsuālis 'of sight', from vīsus, from vidēre 'to see'.

源自晚期拉丁文 vīsuālis「視覺的」，來自 vidēre「看」。

Wiktionary

Think of the senses as separate channels coming into you: one through the ears, one through the eyes. Visual can be thought of as the label on the eye channel — it marks everything that arrives by looking. That is why it so often turns up next to its opposite number: visual and audio, sound and vision, what you hear against what you see on the screen.

可以把各種感官想成一條一條進到你身上的管道：一條走耳朵，一條走眼睛。visual 就像是貼在「眼睛那條管道」上的標籤——凡是靠看進來的，都歸它。所以它幾乎總是跟另一條管道一起出現：visual 對 audio、聲音對畫面、你聽到的對你在螢幕上看到的。
