Few things in this world change as fast as languages. Every day, new words are created to deal with new ideas or new technologies. New meanings also are added to existing words. A dictionary published years ago may show one or two meanings for a word; a dictionary published today may list several more meanings for the same word. Network is one such word. It combines two words. The first is “net," it means materials that are connected; the second is “work". One meaning of “work" is a system. Network means a connection of systems that work together. The systems that networks connect can be very different. For example, radio and television stations can be connected in the network, so can computers and even people.
這世上沒有什么比語言變化更快的了，每天新想法和新技術(shù)的產(chǎn)生都會帶來新的詞匯。既有的詞匯往往被賦予新的意義。一個單詞在幾年前出版的字典上可能只有一兩個意思，但在現(xiàn)在出版的詞典上可能就會有更多的意思了。 Network就是個這樣的詞。它有兩個部分組成。第一部分是“net”，意思是連接在一起的材料；第二部分是“work”，意思是一個體系。Network的意思就是相連的體系共同工作。這些相互聯(lián)系的體系可以是非常不同的。比如，廣播臺和電視臺可以作為體系共同工作，而電腦和人也可以。
