Picture two numbers side by side: how much came out, and how much went in to get it. This word is the relationship between them. That is why working longer hours does not automatically raise it — the bottom number goes up too.

可以想成：兩個數字並排放著——產出了多少，以及為此投入了多少。這個字指的是兩者之間的關係。也因為這樣，工時拉長並不會自動讓它變高，因為下面那個數字也跟著變大了。
