🇬🇧🇨🇳 pixel - 像素 : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "pixel" ("像素"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A pixel is one of the many tiny colored dots that together make the pictures you see on a computer, tablet, or TV screen. If you zoom in very, very close on a photo, you’ll see little squares or dots—those are pixels. Each pixel can change its color, and when millions of them work together, they create clear pictures of things like cartoons, games, and photos of your face making silly expressions.
My dancing video froze, and every pixel on the screen agreed that I looked like a confused robot.
The villain in my video game was only three pixels tall, but still somehow scarier than my math homework.
Grandpa squinted at the screen and asked, “Why does that pixel look like it’s judging me?”
The cat sat on the keyboard and changed my whole drawing into a disaster of angry pixels.
On many screens, a single pixel is so tiny that you’d need a microscope—or superhero eyes—to see it clearly, yet millions of them team up to show your favorite pictures.
Late at night, a boy taps a tablet, one tiny pixel lights blue. He taps another pixel, then another pixel; each pixel adds a speck of color until a small face appears. The pixel pattern becomes a bright, grinning photo, and the boy laughs, proud at the little pixel picture he made.
