Silicon Valley
意味: The global tech industry hub in the San Francisco Bay Area, and by extension, the tech industry itself.
Silicon Valley refers to the Santa Clara Valley region (San Jose, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino) that houses the world's biggest tech companies. But it's also used as shorthand for the entire tech industry and its culture. 'Silicon Valley thinks...' or 'that's very Silicon Valley' describes the industry's mindset, not just a place.
