    示範例句 · Example

    Her father is a naval officer who works on a big grey ship.

    逐字她的爸爸是一位在大灰船上工作的海軍軍官。

    naval 就是「跟海軍有關的」，只放在名詞前面，像 naval officer（海軍軍官）、naval base（海軍基地）、naval battle（海戰）。可以跟 navy 一起記：navy 是名詞「海軍」本身，naval 是形容它的形容詞。要小心 naval 跟 navel（肚臍）發音一樣，但意思完全不同。

core核心畫面

Picture everything tied to a country's fighting force at sea — its , its sailors, its battles on the water. 'Naval' points at that whole sea-going military world.

可以想成：跟一個國家海上武力有關的一切——它的軍艦、水兵、在海面上的作戰。naval 指的就是這整個「在海上打仗」的軍事世界。

From the word’s history

From Latin navalis 'pertaining to ships', from navis 'ship' (PIE *nau- 'boat'). The root is literally 'ship', which is why naval covers the ship-based branch of a country's armed forces.

源自拉丁文 navalis「與船有關的」，出自 navis「船」（印歐字根 *nau-「船」）。字根本身就是「船」，所以 naval 講的正是軍隊裡以艦船為主的那一支。
