多米诺是英语“domino”的音译名。原意为骨牌(小而扁的长方形木块或骨块,刻有黑点)或(用28枚骨牌玩的)骨牌戏。把多米诺骨牌立着排成一行,碰倒第一张,其余的牌也会一张张跟着倒下去。因此人们就把可能产生连锁动作的事物称之为“多米 Domino is the English transliteration of “domino”. The original intention is dominoes (small and flat rectangular blocks or blocks, carved with black dots) or dominoes (played with 28 dominoes). Stand in a row dominoes, knocked down the first one, the rest of the cards will be followed one by one down. So people put the things that may have a chain action called “meters.”
