hub

n.輪轂 [the central part of a wheel, as that part into which the spokes are inserted.]

spoke:hub＝radius:center
輻條匯聚到輪轂＝半徑匯聚到圓心

ps.1 Hub = 集線器

ps.2 Hub  vs. Switch Hub (弄區網需要的東西唷)

簡單說，hub只能單線傳輸--因為它是用廣播來傳輸的，Switch Hub可以多線傳輸

如果xination沒記錯的話(非專業請原諒)，

現在一般的中華電信給的網路設備"小烏龜"--大多是switch hub的

而且具有IP分享器的功能(當然你得是申請固定IP的才會給你這種唷)

hubris /ˋhjubrɪs/

聯想： hub + ris(e) "中心升起"=傲慢

huckster

n.叫賣的小販(像是水果攤、蔬菜攤等啦) [a retailer of small articles, esp. a peddler of fruits and vegetables; hawker. ]

hue

n.顏色(更專業的術語叫--色相) [the quality of a color as determined by its dominant wavelength of light]

ps.1 色相

ps.2 HSL和HSV色彩空間 ( Hue + Saturation + light/value)

ps.3 xination的小故事--之前我都是用picasa 2.0來管理圖片的，不過呢，升級到3.0後多了以顏色搜索的功能，就是你輸入"color:black"就會出現黑色為主的照片，所以color被當作一個functional word的了，但是我有些圖片的檔名內有color的字，反而就不能搜索了。解決方法，我將color改成hue...
