automobile
★★
🇺🇸 /ˈɔtʌmoʊbˌil/
automobile 的核心概念是“能够自行移动的车辆”;它主要作名词,指汽车,也可表示“自行移动的”或较旧式地表示“乘汽车旅行”。
💡 记忆钩子
想象一辆不用马拉、自己就能向前走的车:它首先是“自行移动的”(形容词),这种车本身就是 automobile(名词“汽车”),人乘着它出行就是 automobile(动词“乘汽车旅行”)。
📝 学习建议
- 学习时先掌握名词“汽车”这一核心义,再把形容词义和动词义看作由“自行移动”扩展出来的边缘用法。
- 不要把形容词义直接理解成“自动的”;它强调的是车辆或装置靠自身动力移动,而不是自动完成操作。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
rare 自行移动的📖 指物体能够靠自身动力移动,核心是“不需要外力牵引就能走”。在较早或技术性的文字中,它可以修饰车辆或装置。💡 常见结构是“automobile + 名词”,例如 automobile carriage,表示能够自行行驶的车。这个义项多见于历史或技术语境,现代日常表达通常会换用更具体的说法。not-comparableThe exhibition featured an automobile carriage that moved without a horse.展览会上展出了一辆不用马拉、能够自行移动的车。
noun

core 汽车📖 指靠自己的发动机或其他储存的动力在地面行驶、主要用来载人并带少量物品的机动车。它正好体现了“自己会移动”的核心画面。💡 常见结构是“an automobile”表示一辆汽车,“automobiles”表示多辆或泛指汽车,也可说 travel by automobile 表示乘汽车出行。不要把 automobile 当作不可数的交通工具名称;说一辆车时要用 an automobile 或 a car。Australia Canada New-Zealand Philippines USHer automobile is small, reliable, and easy to park.她的汽车很小,可靠又容易停车。The road was crowded with automobiles during the holiday.假日期间,这条路上挤满了汽车。

rare 乘汽车旅行📖 表示乘坐汽车出行,仍然保留“用会自行移动的车旅行”这一核心画面,但现在主要在旧式文字中出现。💡 常见结构是“automobile to + 地点”或“automobile through + 地点”,动词后通常不直接接宾语。这个用法已经过时,现代表达一般改用 drive 或 travel by car。dated intransitiveIn 1910, wealthy tourists automobiled from the city to the coast.1910年,富裕的游客乘汽车从城里前往海岸。
