The nouninput has been used as a technical term for about a century in fields such as physics and electrical engineering, but its recent popularity grows out of its use in computer science,where it refers to data or signals entered into a system for processing or transmission.In general discourseinput is now widely used to refer to the transmission of information and opinion, as inThe report questioned whether a President thus shielded had access to a sufficiently varied input to have a realistic picture of the nation or The nominee herself had no input on housing policy. In this last sentence the meaning of the term is uncertain:it may mean either that the nominee provided no opinions to the policymakersor that she received no information about housing policy.This vagueness in the nontechnical use ofinput may be one reason that some critics have objected to it (including, in an earlier survey, a majority of the Usage Panel). Though the usage is well established,care should be taken not to use the word merely as a way of pretending to a scientific precision unwarranted by the facts of the case.
名詞input 作為一個專業(yè)名詞在象物理和電子工程領(lǐng)域已經(jīng)被用了大約一個世紀(jì)， 但是它在計算機(jī)科學(xué)上的最新流行超出了原來的用法，在計算機(jī)科學(xué)上它指輸入系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行運行或傳送的信息和信號?？偟膩碚f，input 廣泛地用來指信息和觀點的傳送， 就象在報告懷疑這樣保護(hù)起來的總統(tǒng)是否能獲得接近足夠多樣信息的機(jī)會，從而有一幅這個國家的現(xiàn)實圖景 或 被提名人自己沒有關(guān)于房產(chǎn)政策的任何信息 。 在后一句中單詞的定義是不確定的：它既可以指被提名人未向決策者提供任何建議，也可以指她未收到任何有關(guān)房產(chǎn)政策的信息。這種模糊在input 的非專業(yè)用法中有可能是一些批評家反對它（在一個早期調(diào)查中，其中包括大部分用法專題小組成員）的一個原因。 盡管這種用法已完全確立，用這個詞時也應(yīng)謹(jǐn)慎，不能把這個詞僅僅用來偽裝一種科學(xué)的精確性，而在這樣的情況下，如此的精確性是不被事實所證明的
