喜樂美語

Hold one object in mind: a net with small holes. Air goes through it; mosquitoes do not. Sand goes through it; large stones stay on top. That one action — let most things pass, hold back the few that matter — is what nearly every use of screening is doing, with a different load each time. Put a crowd of healthy people through it and the few early illnesses stay on the net. Put bags and passengers through it and the few risky ones are stopped. One sense stands slightly apart, because it uses the other kind of screen: the flat surface a film is thrown onto.

先在腦中放一樣東西：一張有小孔的網。風過得去，蚊子過不去。細砂落得下去，大石頭留在上面。這個動作——讓大部分通過，把少數留下——幾乎就是 screening 每一個用法在做的事，只是每次倒進去的東西不一樣。倒一群健康的人進去，留在網上的就是少數早期的病例。倒行李和旅客進去，留下的就是需要細看的那幾件。只有一個意思站得比較遠，因為它用的是另一種 screen：電影投上去的那塊銀幕。

From the word’s history

The word is screen + -ing, so it names either the screen material itself or the act of using a screen. That is why one form covers a roll of mesh, the act of sieving, and the checking of people.

按字面拆開，screening 就是 screen 加上 -ing。所以它可以指網子這個材料本身，也可以指「拿網子去過一遍」這個動作。同一個形式能同時當一捲紗網、一道篩分工序、一次對人的檢查，原因就在這裡。
