core核心畫面

A phone that is not tied to a wall. It travels in your pocket, and wherever you walk, some nearby tower picks you up and hands you on to the next one. The picture in cellphone is a phone that comes with you instead of waiting at home.

可以想成一支不用綁在牆上的電話:它待在你口袋裡跟著你走,你走到哪,附近就有基地台接住你,再把你交給下一個。cellphone 給人的畫面就像「電話跟著人跑」,而不是人回家去找電話。這個字裡的 cell 指的是電信網路把土地切成的一格一格涵蓋範圍,每一格叫一個 cell,你在格子之間移動,訊號就一路接力。
