DEFINITION

Noun

A kind of white fluid used to cover up errors in writing so they can be corrected.

由来
  • 英语 “correction fluid” 的意译。
  • 涂改剂于 1954 年由一位美国单亲妈妈贝蒂•奈史密斯•格莱姆（Bette Nesmith Graham）发明。原本想成为艺术家的她，在德克萨斯信托银行（Texas Bank and Trust）任职秘书，常常在用新型打字机打字时打错字。她后来想起 “艺术家从不擦掉错误，而是涂盖错误” 这句话，便突发奇想，自行调配适用于纸张上的涂改剂，用来修改错字。
  • 当时这种涂改剂称为 “Mistake Out”，后来改称 “Liquid Paper”。
  • “涂改剂”是新加坡前交通及新闻部（Ministry of Communications and Information）属下的推广华语秘书处（Promote Mandarin Council Secretariat）于 1984 年定下的名称。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “涂改剂” is a paraphrase of the English term “correction fluid”.
  • The correction fluid was invented by an American single mother named Bette Nesmith Graham in 1954. Originally wanting to be an artist, she worked as a secretary at the Texas Bank and Trust, where she frequently made typing errors when typing on a new typewriter model. She later remembered the saying “an artist never corrects by erasing but always paints over the error”, and a a stroke of inspiration drove her to concoct a correction fluid that could be used on paper to correct her typing errors.
  • At the time this correction fluid was called Mistake Out, and it was later renamed Liquid Paper.
  • The Chinese term “涂改剂” was coined and confirmed in 1984 by the Promote Mandarin Council Secretariat under the Ministry of Communications and Information.
