词汇 etaoin shrdlu
词源
etaoin shrdlu. I’ve never heard anyone say this (it’s pro- nounced et i oy-in shurdloo), but it is sometimes used by writers to indicate confusion or mistakes. It is a printer’s mark, dating back to the late 1950s. Etaoin shrdlu are the letters on the first two vertical rows of keys at the left of the keyboard of a Lino- type machine. Those letters are used as a temporary marking slug or to indicate that an earlier mistake in the line necessitates resetting. Sometimes, however, etaoin shrdlu is inadvertently cast and printed.
