| 释义 | 〔retro〕"As is often the case in retro fashion, historical accuracy is somewhat beside the point"(New York Times)“常常就象回顾往事的方式一样，历史的精确性往往被忽略”(纽约时报)〔input〕The nouninput has been used as a technical term for about a century in fields such as physics and electrical engineering, but its recent popularity grows out of its use in computer science,where it refers to data or signals entered into a system for processing or transmission.In general discourseinput is now widely used to refer to the transmission of information and opinion, as inThe report questioned whether a President thus shielded had access to a sufficiently varied input to have a realistic picture of the nation or The nominee herself had no input on housing policy. In this last sentence the meaning of the term is uncertain:it may mean either that the nominee provided no opinions to the policymakersor that she received no information about housing policy.This vagueness in the nontechnical use ofinput may be one reason that some critics have objected to it (including, in an earlier survey, a majority of the Usage Panel). Though the usage is well established,care should be taken not to use the word merely as a way of pretending to a scientific precision unwarranted by the facts of the case.名词input 作为一个专业名词在象物理和电子工程领域已经被用了大约一个世纪， 但是它在计算机科学上的最新流行超出了原来的用法，在计算机科学上它指输入系统进行运行或传送的信息和信号。总的来说，input 广泛地用来指信息和观点的传送， 就象在报告怀疑这样保护起来的总统是否能获得接近足够多样信息的机会，从而有一幅这个国家的现实图景 或 被提名人自己没有关于房产政策的任何信息 。 在后一句中单词的定义是不确定的：它既可以指被提名人未向决策者提供任何建议，也可以指她未收到任何有关房产政策的信息。这种模糊在input 的非专业用法中有可能是一些批评家反对它（在一个早期调查中，其中包括大部分用法专题小组成员）的一个原因。 尽管这种用法已完全确立，用这个词时也应谨慎，不能把这个词仅仅用来伪装一种科学的精确性，而在这样的情况下，如此的精确性是不被事实所证明的〔confirm〕These verbs all mean to affirm the truth, accuracy, or genuineness of something.这些动词都表示确认事实、精确性或事件的真实性。〔see〕Espy anddescry both stress acuteness of sight that permits the detection of something distant, partially hidden, or obscure: Espy 和descry 都强调视觉察觉远处（尤指被掩藏的或不清楚的）物体的精确性： 〔query〕To mark (an item) with a notation in order to question its validity or accuracy.画疑问号：给（一款项）标上记号，来就其有效性或精确性提出质疑〔exactitude〕The state or quality of being exact.精确性，正确性：准确的性质或状态〔truth〕 Truth is a comprehensive term that in all of its nuances implies accuracy and honesty: Truth 是一个概括性词语，从细微差别上讲，表示精确性及诚实： 〔unchecked〕Not checked for accuracy, efficiency, or flaws:未经检验的：未受精确性，效率或缺陷待方面检查：〔expense〕achieved speed at the expense of accuracy.See Synonyms at price 获得了速度但丧失了精确性 参见 price〔authoritative〕Of acknowledged accuracy or excellence; highly reliable:权威性的：拥有公认的精确性或优秀性的；极可信赖的： |
