先來說說“二維碼”的英文說法:QR Code
“二維碼”的英文是“QR Code”,這個很多同學應該都知道。但“QR”是什么意思呢?
其實它是“Quick Response”的縮寫,反映出這種二維碼具有“超高速識讀”的特點。“Quick Response Code”也就是“快速響應碼”。
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)設計。
其實我們口中所說的二維碼字面直譯應該就是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賬時候機器掃的碼。
例:
Our customer will provide barcode labels to be applied to the product.
我們的客戶將提供用于產品的條形碼標簽。
