  1. 1軸心、軸線（地球自轉軸、圖表的X軸/Y軸；歷史上大寫Axis指二戰軸心國）

    An axis is an imaginary straight line that something turns around, or a line used to measure or organize things. The Earth spins around its axis, which is why we have day and night. In math and charts, the 'x-axis' and 'y-axis' are the two lines used to show numbers on a graph. In history, 'the Axis' (capital A) was the name for the group of countries — mainly Germany, Italy, and Japan — that fought together in World War II.
