喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/jɑːt/ · /jɒt/遊艇；帆船遊艇

    A large boat with a sail, used for fun or for racing rather than for work, especially one with a room inside where you can sleep.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo's aunt races a yacht at the sailing club every summer.

    逐字里歐的阿姨每年夏天都在帆船俱樂部比賽一艘遊艇。

    「yacht」指的是「一艘有帆、用來玩樂或比賽的大船」。它跟載貨、載客的船不一樣——它存在的理由就是休閒和運動，所以英文裡才會有 yacht club（帆船俱樂部）、yacht race（帆船賽）這些說法。可以想成：一般的船在工作，yacht 在享受。另外這個意思特別指「船艙裡可以睡覺」的那種，所以一趟行程可以開好幾天。中文翻「遊艇」時要小心：中文的遊艇常讓人想到有馬達的豪華快艇，但這裡的畫面可以想成「一艘住得下人的大帆船」。

core核心畫面

Picture a boat that nobody needs for work: no nets, no cargo, just sails and a cabin. It exists so that people can enjoy being on the water — sailing for the weekend, or racing other boats for the sport of it. The word carries that whole flavour of leisure and often money, not of a working vessel.

可以想成一艘「不做工的船」：船上沒有漁網、沒有貨物，只有帆、甲板，還有一個可以睡覺的艙房。它存在的理由就是讓人在水上享受——週末出海、或者跟別的船比賽。所以講到 yacht，畫面裡通常帶著休閒、甚至有點財力的味道，而不是討生活的漁船或貨船。
