喜樂美語

One way to hold this word: a flat panel sitting in front of an opening, ready to close it. Pull it across and the light, the weather and anyone outside are all shut out; push it back and everything comes in again. The panel can be a wooden board on a window, a metal sheet over a shop front, or a tiny door inside a camera. The size changes; the job does not.

shutter 可以想成一片擋在開口前面的板子，隨時準備關上。拉上去，光、風雨和外面的人就都被擋在外面；推開來，一切又進得來。這片板子的大小和材質可以差很多——窗戶外的木板、店門口的鐵捲門、相機裡那道只開一瞬間的小門——但它的工作從來沒變過：關住一個開口。連動詞用法也在這個畫面裡：把板子拉下來，就是「關起來」，可以是關窗、封房子，也可以是一家店從此不做了。

From the word’s history

Built from shut plus -er: the thing that shuts. That is why one word covers a window board, a shop front and a camera part — the name describes the job, not the object.

這個字是 shut（關上）加上 -er（做這件事的東西）組成的，字面就是「負責關起來的那個東西」。因為名字說的是工作而不是外型，所以窗板、鐵捲門、相機裡的小門才能共用同一個字。動詞用法也順著這條線：名詞是那片板子，動詞就是把它拉上。
