- 1帆船運動員（女性）；玩帆船的女生。中文本身不分性別，所以譯成中文時這個字的「特別點出是女性」的味道會不見。
A woman who sails a yacht — the same word as yachtsman, only for a woman. Everything true of that word is true here: it suggests someone who really sails, and often someone who does it seriously, , or has made a long voyage. You meet it most in news stories and in sailing clubs, and it carries a note of respect.
A woman who sails a yacht指開帆船的女性 —— the same word as yachtsman跟 yachtsman 是同一個字, only for a woman只是專指女性 —— Everything true of that word is true here那個字所有的意思在這裡都一樣適用: it suggests someone who really sails它暗示這個人是真的會開船, and often someone who does it seriously而且通常是很認真在做這件事的人, races比賽, or has made a long voyage或曾經航行過長途 —— You meet it most in news stories and in sailing clubs你最常在新聞報導和帆船俱樂部裡看到它, and it carries a note of respect而且帶著一種敬意
There is one difference worth knowing. Because sailing was for a long time written about as a men's sport, "yachtswoman" often appears exactly when a writer wants to point out that the sailor is a woman — "the British yachtswoman who sailed around the world alone".
There is one difference worth knowing有一個值得注意的差別 —— Because sailing was for a long time written about as a men's sport因為航海這項運動長久以來都被寫成是男性的運動, "yachtswoman" often appears exactly when a writer wants to point out that the sailor is a woman「yachtswoman」常常恰好出現在作者想特別指出這位水手是女性的時候 —— "the British yachtswoman who sailed around the world alone"（例如「the British yachtswoman who sailed around the world alone」單獨環遊世界的英國女帆船手）
That marking can feel dated now, and many writers today would simply say "sailor" for a person of any gender, keeping "yachtswoman" for older texts, club names and titles. It is a real word in good standing; just notice that choosing it puts a small spotlight on the fact that she is a woman, which "sailor" does not.
That marking can feel dated now這種特別標註現在可能會讓人覺得過時了, and many writers today would simply say "sailor" for a person of any gender現在很多作者不分性別就直接說「sailor」, keeping "yachtswoman" for older texts, club names and titles「yachtswoman」則留給比較舊的文章、俱樂部名稱和頭銜用 —— It is a real word in good standing這是個正正當當的字; just notice that choosing it puts a small spotlight on the fact that she is a woman只是要注意，選用它會稍微凸顯出「她是女性」這件事, which "sailor" does not而「sailor」不會這樣
