Picture the two letters P-C standing in for a longer phrase. The letters are the same each time, but they different phrases, so PC is really several unrelated short-forms that happen to share a spelling.
可以想成 P、C 這兩個字母，是某個更長詞組的縮寫。字母每次都一樣，但它縮的是不同的詞，所以 PC 其實是好幾個彼此無關、只是剛好拼法相同的縮寫。判斷它指哪一個，要看你身處哪個場合：電腦、警界，還是談言行的分寸。
