Question

digital adj.数字的；数码的；手指的；计数的 (1) 我们正在使用的计算机大多数是数字计算机。(2) 这是我新买的数字手表。(3) 我刚查看完数字地图。(4) 数码相机是很费电的。(5) 现在人们使用的激光数码唱片的优点太多了。(6) 该系统在机械取丸粗计数的基础上，采用数字图像处理技术完成了两次细计数，保证了数丸的高精度。 The Latin digitus means "finger or toe," so it makes sense that by adding the suffix -al, which means "being like," we get the adjective digital, "fingerlike." The idea of the word referring to numerals began around 1938, soon becoming vital in computers. It's easy to imagine the connection between fingers and numbers, as the first mathematical "calculators" were probably fingers and toes. Digital recording appeared in 1960 to challenge analog, soon becoming the broadcasting standard for clearer signals.
