Arcade 的原意是拱廊，常指帶拱廊通道的商業(yè)街，也專指付費(fèi)打游戲機(jī)的店面。 As teachers in the U.S. are increasingly using apps, websites and software that borrow elements from video games to connect with students, classrooms are starting to resemble arcades. 隨著美國(guó)的教師們?cè)絹?lái)越多地使用借用很多電子游戲元素的應(yīng)用程序、網(wǎng)站和軟件與學(xué)生們互動(dòng)，教室開始變得像游戲機(jī)店。
