scuba

🇺🇸 /skˈubʌ/
noun 编号: S00775 BNC #24752 COCA #13275
scuba主要指潜水员在水下使用的自携式水肺装备,也可作动词,表示进行水肺潜水。
💡 记忆钩子
把它想成“背在身上的水下呼吸系统”:名词是这套装置,动词则是带着它下水潜水;scuba通常写作小写,首字母大写只是另一种写法。
📝 学习建议
  • 先记名词“水肺装备”,再理解动词“进行水肺潜水”;不要把scuba误解成某一种普通潜水服。
  • scuba本身不是“潜水”这一活动的泛称,而是与自携式呼吸装备有关的潜水。
📖 中文释义
noun
  • core 水肺装备
    📖 scuba是潜水员背在身上、把压缩空气带到水下并调节供气的整套呼吸装备;记住“水下呼吸系统”这个核心形象即可。
    💡 常见结构是“a scuba”较少单独使用,更自然的是“scuba gear”“scuba equipment”或“a scuba tank”。在日常潜水语境中,scuba可泛指这套装备,但不要把它和只装空气的气瓶混为一谈。
    She checked her scuba gear before entering the water.
    她下水前检查了自己的水肺装备。
    The dive shop rents scuba equipment to beginners.
    这家潜水店向初学者出租水肺装备。

noun
  • common 同义大小写变体
    📖 这是scuba的另一种字母大小写形式,仍然指同一套水肺装备,不代表新的事物。
    💡 按普通英语词使用时通常采用小写形式,除非句首、标题或特定名称要求大写。不要因为大小写变化而把它当成不同词义。

SCUBAs plural
verb
  • rare 进行水肺潜水
    📖 作动词时,scuba表示带着这套水肺装备下水潜水;这是从“水下呼吸系统”这一核心意义延伸出来的少见用法。
    💡 可用“scuba in/around地点”表示在哪里进行水肺潜水,但更自然、常见的说法是“go scuba diving”。正式或普通交流中优先使用后者,避免生硬地把scuba当作普通动词。
