喜樂美語

Picture a card sliding into a slot that was made for it — a memory card into a camera, a key into a lock. There is a space waiting, the thing goes in, and once it is in it sits held by whatever surrounds it. Everything insert does, whether the thing going in is a rubber pad or a , seems to come back to that one move: a small piece placed into a space inside something bigger.

可以想成一張卡片滑進剛好為它做的插槽：記憶卡進相機、鑰匙進鎖孔。那裡有一個空位等著，東西對準了滑進去，進去之後就被四周的東西夾著、待在裡面。insert 的各種用法——不管放進去的是一塊墊片還是一個逗號——看起來都從這個動作長出來：把一小塊東西，放進另一個更大的東西「內部」的空位。

From the word’s history

From Latin inserere, in- 'in' plus serere 'to join together, put in a row'; its past participle insertus gives the English verb, first recorded in the 1520s. The noun is much younger — 1893 — and its first use was for a paper placed among the pages of a newspaper or magazine.

來自拉丁文 inserere：in-（進去）加上 serere（接起來、排成一列），過去分詞 insertus 進入英文成為動詞，1520 年代開始有紀錄。名詞晚得多，1893 年才出現，而且一出現講的就是「夾在報紙雜誌書頁之間的那張紙」——今天的插頁義，正好就是這個字名詞用法的起點。
