斜槓與反斜槓（slash vs. backslash）的區分

This is a slash: /. Because the top of it leans forward, it is sometimes called a “forward slash.”

This is a backslash: \. Notice the way it leans back, distinguishing it from the regular slash.

Slashes are often used to indicate directories and subdirectories in computer systems such as Unix and in World Wide Web c. Unfortunately, many people, assuming “backslash” is some sort of technical term for the regular slash, use the term incorrectly, which risks confusing those who know enough to distinguish between the two but not enough to realize that Web addresses rarely contain backslashes.

# 根據從左到右的書寫\閱讀習慣，向前是“從左到右”，向後是“從右到左”。

斜槓(slash): “ / ”是斜槓，因為它的頂端是向前面傾斜的，英文中有時候也叫做“forward slash”；

反斜槓(backslash)：“\”是反斜槓，注意，它的頂端是向後傾斜的。要將它和普通的斜槓（“/”）區分開來。

斜槓經常會用來在諸如Unix的檔案系統中和全球資訊網網址中表示目錄和子目錄路徑等。很遺憾的是，很多人都把反斜槓（“\”）當做是普通斜槓（“/”）的某種技術用語，錯誤的使用術語，混淆斜槓和反斜槓的風險讓那些足夠了解他們的人可以區分他們，但是瞭解仍不夠他們意識到全球資訊網的地址中很少會包含反斜槓（“\”）的。
