L4. Boats, by Byron Barton

sailboat

fireboat

ferryboat

“朋友”的英文是friend, “友谊”是friendship, 里面有个ship(船)。这样看来，前段时间流行的那句“友谊的小船说翻就翻”真有些双关的意思在里头。

我们平时见的关于船的英语表达有”boat”,“ship“那有些什么区别呢？

*boat, 指小型船只，如渔船fishing boat，小木船。 英语词典给的解释为：a small vessel for travel on water.

有首很有名的儿歌：row, row, row a boat 划小船

还有个常见的英文表达：in the same boat , 同乘一条船，指的就是处境相同的人。

*ship,相对就是指较大型的轮船,舰，太空飞船: a large boat used for carrying people or goods across the sea.

Titanic泰坦尼克 = a great ship 一艘巨轮。

space ship 太空飞船

注意下文章中出现的各种船都是怎样表达的~

对了，文中出现了一个客套语”Bon voyage“: you say "bon voyage" to someone who is going on a journey, as a way of saying goodbye and wishing them a good trip. 这个表达来自法语，对踏上旅途的朋友表达祝福，旅途平安。
