设备管理器
shèbèi guǎnlǐqì
The English phrase 'device manager' is translated into Chinese as 设备管理器 (shèbèi guǎnlǐqì).
设备管理器 refers to the specific computer program used to manage and control hardware components attached to a system.
How does it change in a sentence?
You can distinguish between the tool and the process by the final character: while 设备管理器 refers to the 'device manager' (the tool), removing the final character 器 (qì) results in 设备管理, which refers to 'device management' (the abstract process).
How do you pronounce it?
shèbèi guǎnlǐqì
Did you know?
- The character 管 in 管理 literally means 'tube' or 'pipe'. This reflects an ancient concept of 'controlling' or 'channeling' flow, which evolved into the modern meaning of 'management'.
- The character 器 in 设备管理器 originally referred to a musical instrument or a vessel. In modern Chinese, it has evolved to represent any physical tool, machine or hardware component.
- While 管理器 is used for a 'manager' in software, the word for a human manager in a company is 经理. A Chinese speaker would never call a person a 管理器.
