今天跟大家分享一個常見字「contain」，
contain 就是 v. 包含
container 就是 n. 容器
有什麼好講的拉～～～
但是其實contain還有另一個很正式的用法跟包含一點關係都沒有，甚至有點相反的意思。
「contain」：If you contain something, you control it and prevent it from spreading or increasing—Collins Dictionary
例句：More than a hundred firefighters are still trying to contain the fire at the plant.—Collins Dictionary
另一個跟情感面較為相關的意思是：If you cannot contain a feeling such as excitement or anger, or if you cannot contain yourself, you cannot prevent yourself from showing your feelings.-Collins Dictionary
例句：He was bursting with curiosity and just couldn't contain himself.—Collins Dictionary
大家可以分辨看看在本文當中的contain是什麼用法？
原文：For example, to help contain the coronavirus, Alipay and WeChat worked with the Shanghai government to develop a QR tracking system that was adopted by 10 million users in just six weeks.
今天例句從Collins Dictionary擷取，也是一個我很愛用的字典，如果寫一篇字典比較，大家會有興趣嗎？留言告訴我～～
