what it means
Coupled means joined so that two things now move as one. Picture the train: each car is a separate box of metal until someone locks them together, and after that you cannot pull one forward and leave the other behind. That is coupling, and the word keeps that picture wherever it goes. Two problems can be coupled — fix one and the other shifts. Engineers talk about coupled parts for the same reason: the link is the point. In everyday writing you will meet coupled with, which simply means together with, and the two work as a pair: heavy rain coupled with a blocked drain is how a street floods.
Coupled es "unido de tal forma que dos cosas ya se mueven como una sola". Piensa en un tren: cada vagón es una caja de metal aparte hasta que alguien los engancha; después ya no puedes llevarte uno y dejar el otro. Esa imagen sirve para todo — dos problemas coupled se mueven juntos.
Coupled é "ligado de um jeito que as duas coisas passam a se mover juntas". Pense no trem: cada vagão é uma caixa de metal separada até alguém engatar; depois disso, você não leva um e deixa o outro. A imagem vale para tudo — dois problemas coupled andam juntos.
Coupled, c'est relié de telle façon que deux choses bougent désormais comme une seule. Pensez au train : chaque wagon est une boîte de métal à part, jusqu'au moment où on les attelle ; ensuite, impossible d'en emmener un et de laisser l'autre. Deux problèmes coupled, c'est pareil : l'un bouge, l'autre suit.
Coupled artinya tersambung sampai dua hal bergerak sebagai satu. Bayangkan kereta: tiap gerbong berdiri sendiri sampai seseorang mengaitkannya; setelah itu Anda tidak bisa menarik satu dan meninggalkan yang lain. Dua masalah yang coupled juga begitu — yang satu bergerak, yang lain ikut.
Coupled, iki şeyin artık tek parça gibi hareket edecek biçimde birbirine bağlanmasıdır. Treni düşünün: her vagon ayrı bir metal kutudur, ta ki biri onları kenetleyene kadar; ondan sonra birini alıp ötekini bırakamazsınız. İki sorun coupled ise, biri kımıldadığında öteki de kımıldar.
coupled は「二つのものがつながって、一つとして動く」状態です。列車を思い浮かべてください。連結される前はそれぞれ別の箱ですが、つないだあとは片方だけ引いていくことはできません。二つの問題が coupled なら、一方が動けばもう一方も動きます。
