    逐字我可以借用你的釘書機嗎？我的專題頁面一直散開。

    「stapler」就是學校、辦公室桌上的「釘書機」——把小小金屬釘打進紙裡，把幾張紙釘在一起。核心畫面可以想成「會幫你釘紙的小工具」——裡面裝的金屬釘叫 staple（訂書針），機器本身才叫 stapler。常見說法：use a stapler、borrow a stapler、desk stapler、the stapler is out of staples。跟 paperclip 分開：迴紋針是夾住，不打洞；stapler 會把釘打進紙裡。

core核心畫面

Picture the small desk machine you press with your palm: a thin metal staple shoots through a stack of paper and its two legs fold flat underneath, locking the pages into one document.

可以想成：桌上那台用手掌一壓的小機器——一根細細的鐵針穿過紙疊，兩隻腳在背面折彎壓平，好幾張紙就變成一份。名字直接從 staple（釘書針）加 -er（做這件事的東西）來的，工具名跟它處理的東西同一個字根。
