A thin square of silicon smaller than a , with a whole circuit cut into its face. It is tiny and it is cheap, and the machine around it stops without it. Once that object is in mind, the verb is simply the act of putting one inside something living or something owned, so that it can answer the question who is this.
可以想成一小片比指甲還小的薄矽片，表面上刻著一整組線路。它很小、也不貴，但少了它，外面那台機器就停了。先把這個東西放進腦袋裡，動詞就好懂了：動詞就是「把這樣一片放進某個活的或自己的東西裡」，讓它之後能回答「這是誰」。
From the word’s history
From micro- plus chip, a chip being a thin piece taken off something larger; here the larger thing is silicon.
來源說它是 micro-（很小）加 chip。chip 本來指從大塊東西上削下來的薄片。這裡被削下來的是矽。所以字面上就是「一小片矽」，跟今天看到的那個東西幾乎一樣。
