Picture the flat top of a desk with your things laid out on it — papers to hand, a folder, a pen. When computers needed a name for the screen you keep your files and shortcuts on, they borrowed that surface whole, which is why a computer screen has folders and a wastebasket on it.

可以想成:一張書桌的平面,東西就攤在上面——隨手的紙、資料夾、一支筆。後來電腦需要替「放檔案和捷徑的那個畫面」取名字,就把這整張桌面借了過去;所以電腦螢幕上才會有資料夾,還有一個垃圾桶。

登入就可以看每一支怎麼連回核心畫面。
