有时候,我们在打字的时候,明明看到的是m,却有可能打成n。这样的错误几乎每天都在发生。于是,有人为了解嘲而给这个错误找了个可爱的名字Fat Finger Disease。知道了吧,我们打错字就是因为手指太胖啦。
When you interface with any kind of computer that requires manual input (whether by keyboard, or a touch screen) there is the chance for making a mistake. Such mistakes are playfully called "Fat Finger Disease".
我们在操作需要手工输入的电脑(不管是键盘还是触摸屏)时,总难免会出错。这些手工输入时犯的错误就被戏称为“胖手指病”。
Fat finger here refers to the act of performing a typo, often used when referring to password typos.
这里的“胖手指”指的是输入错误,通常用来指密码输入错误。
For example:
You didn't get my email? I must have fat fingered the address.
你没收到我的邮件吗?我一定是输错地址了。
