连接；结合
先理解核心含义，再看它在真实句子里的用法。
连接；结合
The act of joining or linking two things together.
The coupling between the two software modules is surprisingly loose.
这两个软件模块之间的耦合度低得惊人。
连接在一起形成一对的行为。
The act of joining together to form a couple.
将两样东西连接在一起的装置。
A device that couples two things together.
两个或多个软件模块之间的依赖程度。
The degree of reliance between two or more software modules.
两个电子电路之间的连接,使得信号可以在它们之间传递。
A connection between two electronic circuits such that a signal can pass between them.
The mechanic checked the coupling between the train cars before departure.

A loose coupling between software modules makes the system easier to maintain.
软件模块之间的松散耦合使得系统更易于维护。
The coupling of the two pipes was done with a special fitting.
两根管子的连接是用一个特殊的接头完成的。
between 后接两个相互关联的事物，常用于软件、电子或物理语境。
The coupling between the two software modules is surprisingly loose.

Not this
There are too many couplings between these modules.
Use this
There is too much coupling between these modules.
当coupling表示“耦合程度/依赖性”时为不可数名词，不能用many或复数形式；应使用much或a high degree of来表达数量。
Not this
The coupling between the modules are strong.
Use this
The coupling between the modules is strong.
主语是单数名词coupling，介词短语between the modules不影响主谓一致；系动词应用is而非are。

Loose coupling between components improves flexibility.
组件之间的松耦合提高了灵活性。
连接装置；联轴器
The coupling device connects the two pipes securely.
这个连接装置将两根管子牢固地连接起来。
耦合电容器
A coupling capacitor allows the AC signal to pass between stages.
耦合电容器允许交流信号在各级之间通过。
直接耦合
Direct coupling transmits power without any flexible element.
直接耦合无需柔性元件即可传递动力。
耦合常数
The coupling constant determines the strength of the interaction.
耦合常数决定相互作用的强度。
《冤家成双》
The British sitcom Coupling ran from 2000 to 2004 and focused on the romantic lives of six friends.
英国情景喜剧《冤家成双》于2000年至2004年播出，讲述六个朋友的浪漫生活。

记住coupling来自couple（一对），想象两节火车车厢像一对夫妻般紧紧连在一起，就是“连接/联轴器”；软件模块间的牵连也叫coupling。
语域：mixed 常见场景：mechanical engineering、software engineering、electronics、physics coupling 作名词时，不同义项的语域不太一样：一般表示“连接/结合”时比较中性；而在机械、软件、电子或物理等专业领域中，多用于技术性较强的语境，通常偏正式。使用时要根据具体学科或场合选择合适的义项。
常用于机械或电子领域的连接装置
