Picture the little dial you twist on the kitchen counter before putting the cake in: you set it, you walk away, and it keeps the counting for you until it rings. A timer can be thought of as something whose whole job is to hold a length of time and tell you when it is up — so you don't have to keep watching the clock yourself.

可以想成廚房檯面上那個小小的旋鈕:蛋糕進烤箱前你把它轉好,然後就可以走開,它會替你把那段時間數完,時間到了響給你聽。timer 的畫面可以想成「一個專門幫你抓住一段時間、時間到就通知你的東西」——重點在於它讓你不必自己一直盯著時鐘。
