先來說說“二維碼”的英文說法:QR Code
“二維碼”的英文是“QR Code”,這個很多同學(xué)應(yīng)該都知道。但“QR”是什么意思呢?
其實(shí)它是“Quick Response”的縮寫,反映出這種二維碼具有“超高速識讀”的特點(diǎn)。“Quick Response Code”也就是“快速響應(yīng)碼”。
維基百科是這么解釋的:
“A QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed in 1994 for the automotive industry in Japan.
QR碼(Quick Response code的縮寫)是一種矩陣條碼(或二維條碼),最早于1994年在日本為汽車工業(yè)設(shè)計。
其實(shí)我們口中所說的二維碼字面直譯應(yīng)該就是two-dimensional barcode
barcode的意思是“條形碼”,也就是我們最常見的衣服或者貨物上結(jié)賬時候機(jī)器掃的碼。
例:
Our customer will provide barcode labels to be applied to the product.
我們的客戶將提供用于產(chǎn)品的條形碼標(biāo)簽。
“掃碼支付”、“掃碼關(guān)注”、“掃碼加好友”英語怎么說?
