    示範例句 · Example

    At the bottom of the library card it said "ms, 1503", so we knew the book was written by hand.

    逐字在圖書館卡片的最下面它寫著「ms, 1503」，所以我們知道這本書是手寫的。

    「ms」是 manuscript（手稿）的書面縮寫，寫在圖書館目錄、博物館標示、出版社或編輯的筆記上；說出來的時候，多數人還是唸完整的 manuscript。可以想成它留下這個長字的頭和尾兩個字母，把一個很長的字塞進小小的一格；複數要寫成 mss（最後一個字母重複一次），這是英文老式縮寫變複數的寫法。它跟稱呼女性的 Ms.（女士）長得很像，但那是完全不同的字，Ms. 後面通常接姓氏，例如 Ms. Chen。

core核心畫面

Think of ms as a note scribbled in the margin of publishing work: it is not a word you say, it is a two-letter stand-in for manuscript — the writer's own copy of a book or story, or typed, before any printer has touched it.

可以想成：這不是一個會唸出來的字，而是出版、編輯圈子裡寫在紙邊的縮寫。ms 就是 manuscript 的短寫——作者自己那一份還沒印刷的稿子，手寫的或打字的都算。畫面是編輯桌上一疊還沒排版的紙，上面可能有塗改。看到 ms.（有時寫成 MS，複數 mss）出現在稿件、圖書館目錄或退稿信裡，把它在心裡還原成 manuscript 就通了。
