学习如逆水行舟,不进则退。别放松警惕,持续努力,才能在知识的海洋中遨游。
航天船的英语翻译主要有以下两种常见表达:
spaceship
指单数或复数形式的航天器,例如:
- The first spaceship to land on Mars was the Curiosity rover.
- The International Space Station is a joint project involving multiple spacecraft.
spacecraft
复数形式,与spaceship等价,例如:
- The launch sequence was monitored by engineers aboard the spacecraft.
- The fleet of spacecraft includes both manned and unmanned missions.
补充说明
在特定语境下, space shuttle(航天飞机)是 spaceship的特例,指往返于地球与太空站之间的载人航天器,如美国的“哥伦比亚”号航天飞机。- 两者在多数情况下可互换使用,但 spacecraft更强调其作为“太空旅行工具”的通用性,而 spaceship可能更偏向通俗化表达。建议根据具体语境选择使用,若需特指航天飞机则使用 space shuttle,其他情况优先考虑 spaceship或 spacecraft。
