    「airplane」是美式英語裡的「飛機」——有翅膀、有引擎、能載人在空中飛的交通工具。英式英語同一個意思常寫 aeroplane；日常口語兩邊都常說 plane。核心畫面可以想成「一台會飛的大機器」。常見：get on / get off an airplane、fly an airplane、go by airplane。

core核心畫面

Picture the machine itself: two fixed wings, engines under them, wheels folding up as it leaves the ground. The word names the vehicle, not the trip and not the company — the thing you can point at on the runway.

可以想成：機器本身——兩片固定的機翼、下面掛著引擎、離地時輪子收起來。airplane 指的是那台載具，不是那趟旅程，也不是那家公司；就是停機坪上你可以用手指著的那個東西。
