1. 1nB1/ˈʃɪpmənt/出貨;一批貨

    The sending of goods to a place, or the batch of goods sent together.

    示範例句 · Example

    The shop received a shipment of fresh fruit this morning.

    逐字那間店今天早上收到了一批新鮮水果的貨。

    「shipment」是「送出去的那一批貨」,也可以指「把貨送出去」這件事。可數時常用 a shipment of …(一批……貨);不可數時常見 ready for shipment(準備好可以出貨)。跟 delivery 比:delivery 比較像「送到、交到對方手上」;shipment 比較像「這批貨被送出/正在運送」。核心畫面可以想成「一批在路上的東西」——或「把它們送上路」這一步。

core核心畫面

Picture a pallet of goods leaving the warehouse: one batch, sent as one lot. The word covers both that batch of things and the act of sending it — and despite the ship inside it, the goods may travel by road or air.

可以想成:一批貨從倉庫送出去——同一批、一次走。這個字同時指「那批貨」和「送貨這件事」。字裡雖然有 ship,但不限於海運,走陸運或空運也照用;ship 當動詞早就泛指「把貨送出去」了。
