| 单词 | 的船只 |
| 释义 | 〔pontoon〕A floating structure, such as a flat-bottomed boat, that is used to support a bridge.浮舟：用于支撑浮桥的船只，可以轻易移动的建造物，如平底船〔posh〕"Oh yes, Mater, we had a posh time of it down there.”So inPunch for September 25, 1918, do we find the first recorded instance of that mysterious wordposh, meaning "smart and fashionable,”although in a 1903 book by P.G. Wodehouse,Tales of St. Austin's, there is a mention of a waistcoat that was "push.” The latter may be a different word,but in either case the dates of occurrence are importantbecause they are part of the objection to derivingposh from the initials of "Port Out, Starboard Home.” This was the cooler, and thus more expensive, side of ships traveling between England and India in the mid-19th century,and the acronymPOSH was supposedly stamped on the tickets of first-class passengers traveling on that side of ships owned by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. No evidence is definitely known to exist for this theory, however.TheOxford English Dictionary Supplement may have found a possible source or sources for posh. Another wordposh was 19th- and early 20th-century British slang for "money,” specifically "a halfpenny, cash of small value.”This word is borrowed from the common Romany wordpåšh, "half,” which was used in combinations such aspåšhera, "halfpenny.” Posh, also meaning "a dandy,” is recorded in two dictionaries of slang published in 1890 and 1902,although this particularposh may be still another word. This word or these words, however, are much more likely to be the source ofposh than "Port Out, Starboard Home,” although the latter source certainly has caught the public's etymological fancy.“哦是的，妈妈，我们在那里过着豪华的生活。”因此在1918年9月25日的punch 上， 我们看到了那个神秘单词posh 的首次记录， 意为“豪华的，时髦的，”虽然早在1903年P·G·伍德豪斯的名为圣·奥斯汀传说 的作品中就提及了意为"push"的马夹这个词。 后者也可能是另外一个不同的词，但在任何一种情况下两者被使用的时间都很重要，因为它们都反对posh 这个词源于"Port Out，Starboard Home。” 这是意指19世纪中期往来于英格兰及印度的船只中较凉爽、因而票价也就较为昂贵的一侧，而POSH 这个首字缩拼词据说就印在半岛——东方蒸汽船航运公司所拥有的船只上较为凉爽的一侧头等舱的票上。 然而对于这一说法并没有确凿的证据来加以证明。牛津英语词典增补本 也许为 posh 找到了一个或多个可能的词源。 另一个词posh 则是19世纪和20世纪初英国人用来表示“钱”的俚语， 尤指“半便士，小面值钱币。”这个词源于吉卜赛常用词på歨 ，意为“一半”， 用在诸如意为“半便士”的复合词på歨era 中。 Posh 也有“花花公子”之意， 这一用法记录于1890年及1902年出版的两本俚语词典中，尽管这个特有的posh 也有可能是另一个词。 然而这个词及上文提到的那些词比"Port Out，Starboard Home"更有可能是posh 这个词的词源， 虽然后者早被人们确认为这个词的词源〔supertanker〕A very large ship, usually between 100,000 and 400,000 displacement tons, used for transporting oil and other liquids in large quantities.超级油船：通常排水量在100,000和400,000吨之间的，用于运输大量石油和其它液体的十分巨大的船只〔privateer〕A ship privately owned and manned but authorized by a government during wartime to attack and capture enemy vessels.武装民船，私掠船：私人所有并装备的船只，但在战时经政府授权攻击和掠捕敌方商船或军舰〔course〕ships coursing the seas.行经海洋的船只〔flag〕ships of the same flag.同属一国的船只〔bumboat〕A small boat used to peddle provisions to ships anchored offshore.小卖艇：向在岸边抛锚的船只兜售货物的小船〔transport〕A ship or an aircraft used to transport troops or military equipment.运输船（机）：一种用于运输军队或军事装备的船只或飞机〔submersible〕A vessel capable of operating or remaining under water.潜艇：可以在水下作业或呆在水下的船只〔interloper〕A ship or other vessel used in such trade.用于此类贸易的船只或其他船只〔ship〕A vessel of considerable size for deep-water navigation.海船：用于深海航行的一种体积较大的船只〔heave〕To turn a sailing ship so that its bow heads into the wind and the ship lies motionless except for drifting, in order to meet a storm:将帆船顶风停船：转动正在航行的船只使船头迎风，船除了漂泊外一动也不动地停在水中，以便迎接暴风：〔salvor〕A ship used in salvage.救援船：用于海难救助的船只〔buffet〕a ship buffeting against the wind.与风浪搏斗的船只〔wreck〕Fragments of a ship or its cargo cast ashore by the sea after a shipwreck; wreckage.失事船的残骸，沉船漂浮物：船舶失事后，被海冲到岸边的船只或其所载货物的碎片；沉船残骸〔marine〕The mercantile or naval ships or shipping fleet of a country.所有船舶：一国商业或海军的船只或舰队〔jollyboat〕A medium-sized ship's boat used for rough work and minor tasks.船载小工作艇： 等大小的船只上所载的小艇，用来完成粗略工作及次要任务〔submarine〕A ship capable of operating submerged.
