      秘密咒語，輸入「傾斜」Google 就歪～了！（圖／擷取自Google網站）

記者湯蕙如／綜合報導

真的很妙，只要在智慧型手機上的 Google 輸入「傾斜」除了秀出相關資訊，網頁還會真的「傾斜」歪給你看！而且 iOS 和 Android 手機都能用，不過 iPad 會沒反應。

這是一個約半年前 Google 暗藏在網頁裡的小祕密，除了中文的「傾斜」，還有英文的「tilt」、「askew」、「crooked」，或是日文的「斜め」內含傾斜意思的詞句都能有相同效果。

可愛的小撇步，什麼時候要停止提供不清楚，總之，有興趣的人可以試試看，能不能出現更多對應字眼或更多語言吧！（簡單測試一下發現，中文介面除中文外還對應英日文，但英日文介面卻不理中文內容，嘗試前請注意。）
