1. 1nB1/ˈfreɪtər/ · /ˈfreɪtə/貨輪;貨機

    a large ship or plane that carries goods from one place to another.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei saw a huge freighter slowly enter the harbor.

    逐字美看見一艘巨大的貨輪慢慢進入港口。

    「freighter」是「專門載貨物的大船或飛機」,中文常說貨輪(船)或貨機(飛機)。常見說法:a freighter in the harbor(港口裡的貨輪)、the freighter carries cargo(貨輪載貨)、a freighter plane(貨機)。核心畫面可以想成「肚子裡塞滿箱子、主要載貨不太載人的大船或飛機」。它跟 cargo ship、tanker、passenger ship 容易並排:cargo ship 多半只指船;freighter 可以是船也可以是飛機;tanker 專載油;passenger ship 載的是人。
