Since then the word has passed beyond technical useand now covers a wide variety of malfunctions and mishaps.回溯历史，尽管glitch 似乎是一个向来有用的单词， 但是直到1962年它才首次在英语中有记录，在约翰·格林著作中：“我们所采用的另一个用来描述我们的问题的词汇是‘glitch’”。格林给这个词下了为宇航员所采用的专业定义， “严格来说，glitch是指电流中电压受阻或变化。”。在这里，即使宇航员不一定是第一个引申了glitch 的含义，可是我们看到这个词是如何从它狭义的电子技术上的意义发展到更普遍的意义。 此后这个词超出了技术上的使用范围，现在可指多种功能故障和灾祸〔evil〕Something that is a cause or source of suffering, injury, or destruction:灾祸，灾害，不幸：造成苦难、伤害或破坏的事：〔adversity〕A calamitous event.See Synonyms at misfortune 灾祸：灾难性的事件 参见 misfortune〔curse〕The evil or misfortune that comes in or as if in response to such an appeal:灾祸：由于或者似乎由于诅咒带来的祸害或灾难： |
