wall or floor tile · noun · A2
A flat, hard piece, usually square, laid in rows to cover a wall or floor.
磁磚
Picture one hard, flat, baked piece in your hand — and then a whole wall or floor of them, laid edge to edge with thin lines between. A tile can be thought of as a small hard piece that is only half the idea: the other half is that it is one of many, repeated until a whole surface is covered and protected. That is why the word keeps showing up wherever a big surface is made out of small repeated units — a bathroom wall, a roof, and even the squares on a screen or a game board.
可以想成手上拿著一片硬硬的、燒過的方片——然後是整面牆或整片地板，全是這樣的方片一片挨著一片鋪出來，中間留著細細的縫。tile 的畫面可以想成「一小片硬板」，但那只是一半；另一半是「它是很多片裡的一片」，要一直重複鋪下去，才把整個表面蓋住、保護起來。所以這個字後來會出現在各種「大面積由小方塊重複組成」的地方：浴室的牆、屋頂、甚至螢幕上或桌遊裡的一個個小方塊。
