Two rows of teeth locked tightly together, and a hand pulling the little slider along so they come apart and the thing falls open. Whatever was shut and held closed is now open again.
可以想成兩排咬得緊緊的齒,被一個小拉頭一路拉過去,就一排排鬆開,東西整個敞開。本來是「扣住、收緊」的狀態,現在被倒回去了。這個「把扣在一起的東西拉開」的畫面,就是 unzip 從外套到電腦檔案共用的那條線。
From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives the word as un- + zip. The prefix un- on a verb means undoing the action, as in tie/untie and lock/unlock, so unzip is simply zip run backwards.
來源就是 un- 加 zip。un- 放在動詞前面表示把動作倒回去,像 tie/untie、lock/unlock。所以 unzip 字面上就是「把 zip 這個動作倒著做一次」。
