Garner's Modern American Usage对此词有一段很好的解说；
' V' M+ r7 B+ _/ ~, v; c# ]" ~! W% p N+ Y4 Q- O3 \% i
password; passcode% j) P O1 W" i9 t2 U% W+ Z
The latter is a NEOLOGISM created in an effort to keep up with modern technology. In the computer age, a password is often not a word at all; instead, it’s merely a combination of characters (letters and numbers). Hence the term passcode, born in the early 1990s.
2 T) w g: c' d9 H5 G+ M! L/ k/ Z& l1 V0 z
Like many other neologisms, this one may be short-lived: password isn’t likely to be bumped from the language. Indeed, those who object to a password that consists of the digits in one’s birthdate, for example, are probably being too literal. |
