“二维码”和“扫码关注”可能现在大家天天都会听到，尤其是走在大街上会有推广某种产品的人说“扫码关注，免费送耳机”等。如果想真正学好英语，凡是我们经常听到的，说到的，看到的，想到的，都值得思考如何用准确的英语表达出来。今天我们就来看一下“二维码”和“扫码关注”对应的英语。
二维码是二维条码(也叫二维条形码)的简称，英文是two-dimensional barcode。微信上用的二维码叫QR code，属二维条码的一种，它是Quick Response Code的缩写，意思为“快速响应码”。
dimensional这个词相信大家不会陌生，我们经常说的3-D(电影)，就是three-dimensional的缩写。
此外，barcode也可写作bar code，意思为“条码”，也叫“条形码”，和二维码不同，它是一维的。bar是“(长)条”的意思，如“长铁条”是a long iron bar，“一条巧克力”是a bar of chocolate。
“扫码关注”是scan a QR code to follow。例如，“请扫以下二维码关注我们以获取更多资讯”就是For further information, please scan the QR code below to follow us。
总结一下：
QR code (微信的)二维码
scan a QR code to follow 扫码关注

QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to efficiently store data; extensions may also be used.
