大家坐飛機的時候,不要只顧著看雲,也可以多看看飛機上的英文提示。如果你細心觀察,肯定能在飛機的座椅上看到這樣一行英文。Table must be stowed during taxi,take off and landing.這句話翻譯成中文就是飛機在地面滑行、起飛和著陸的時候,乘客需要收起小桌板,stow 的意思就是把……收好。除了計程車,taxi 還可以表示滑行,特指飛機起飛前和降落後在地面的滑行。滑行燈就是 taxi light,滑行道也就是 taxiway 了。The plane has not taxied to the runway for takeoff because of the bad weather.hail 有招手的意思,我們在路邊攔車肯定要和司機打手勢,所以 hail a taxi 就是打車,這個短語通常指直接在路邊打車。We missed the last bus,so we have to hail a taxi.carpool [ˈkɑːrpuːl] 合夥用車;拼車if a group of people carpool , they travel to work together in one car and divide the cost between them carpool 的意思是合夥用車和拼車,也可以表示順風車,拼車也可以用 share a ride.In order to save expenses, he often carpools with roommates at weekends.ride-sharing service 順風車服務sharing是共享,ride-sharing 就是在線拼車和在線順風車,多指網約車,是這幾年共享經濟盛行而出現的新詞。hitchhike [ˈhɪtʃhaɪkɪŋ] 免費搭便車;搭順風車hitch-hiker 免費搭乘他人車的人;搭順風車的人
hitchhike 的意思是搭便車,多指免費搭車。carpool 和 ride-sharing有可能是收費的,多適用於拼車和共同分攤車費。It is unsafe for you to hitchhike alone at night,let me drive you home.taxi 和 cab 這兩個說法都來自 taxicab,但現在人們多用 taxi 和 cab 表示計程車。cab 多見於口語 ,taxi 更正式。
air taxi 不是在天上飛的的計程車,而是短程的小飛機。這種飛機主要實施短途飛行,收費方式和計程車差不多,因此被人們稱為 air taxi.The traffic is heavy ,I am running out of time.Why not take an air taxi?meter 是計量表,煤氣表、電錶和計程車計價器都可以用 meter 表示。electricity meter 就是電錶,煤氣表就是 gas meter,打表就是 run the meter 或 use the meter.Excuse me,my destination is Hyde Park, do you run the meter?Where can we catch a taxi?
Please stop at the next intersection.Where is your destination?
We are going to be late for work ,could you step on it?Please slow down a little,I am feeling carsick now.Please help me to put the luggage in the trunk, thanks.How soon will we get to the destination?Can you set me down here? How much is the fare please?- END -
