Examples
"A mobile responsive website is one that adapts to fit different screens, most notably mobile phones. It can do this in a number of ways that improve visibility and usability. For example, a mobile responsive site will have pictures that change to fit the screen size. Buttons and text will do the same, so they can all be viewed properly on a phone screen." — June Potter, The Times Union (Albany, New York), 17 June 2021
“移動響應式網站可以適應不同的屏幕，尤其是手機。它可以通過多種方式來提高可見度和可用度。舉例來說，移動響應式網站的圖片會隨著螢幕的變化而改變大小。按鈕和簡訊也一樣，所以它們都可以在手機螢幕上查看。” — June Potter，時代聯盟（紐約，奧爾巴尼），2021 年 6 月 17 日
Did You Know?
Responsive comes from the joining of Latin responsus with the suffix -ivus, which gave English -ive. That suffix changes verbs into adjectives, as in suggestive or corrosive. Responsus is a form of respondēre, which means "to answer" and is the source of English's respond. Responsive enters the language with the meaning "giving response" or "answering." Examples are "a responsive letter" or "a responsive glance." Nowadays, it variously describes people or things that immediately respond or react to something, such as "a responsive audience" or "a car with responsive steering."
Responsive 來自拉丁文的 responsus 並加上後綴 - ivus，這也給英語 - ive。該後綴將動詞變成形容詞，如暗示性或侵蝕性。Responsus 的一種形式 respondēre ，意思是“回答”，是英文的來源，其響應。Responsive進入語言，意思是“給予回應”或“回答”。例如“自動回覆信件”或“自動掃描”。如今，它以不同的方式描述對某事立即做出回應或做出反應的人或事物，例如“觀眾反應”或“具有自動導航的汽車.”
