妙语佳句,活学活用
1. Command pilot 飞行指挥
2. Senior Pilot noun 高级飞行员 (通常是实际执行飞行任务的飞行员)
3. We're not copying anybody five by.
Copy 在这里的意思是“to receive and understand (a radio message or its sender). 充分了解,接收,收到(例如无线电讯息)”,我们来看个例子:I copy you loud and clear. 下文中的read也是表示“接收,收到(无线电讯息)”的意思。
Five by 这里指的是无线电信号接收的频率。In voice procedure (the techniques used to facilitate spoken communication over two-way radios) a station may request a report on the quality and strength of signal they are broadcasting. In the military of the NATO countries, and other organizations, the signal quality is reported on two scales; the first is for signal strength, and the second for signal clarity. Both these scales range from one to five, where one is the worst and five is the best. The listening station reports these numbers separated with the word "by". 这里引出一个片语Five by five,it means a signal that has excellent strength and perfect clarity — the most understandable signal possible.
推而广之,Five by five 可以表示 "I understand you perfectly"。
4. Square away
这个片语的意思是“Put in order; get ready for 整理,准备好”,例如:
Once we've got the files squared away, we can decide on next year's repertory.
She had to square away the house before leaving town.
5. Open mike
这里是指“开着的麦克风”,例如:Do not rustle papers, pour out glasses of water, drum your fingers on the work surface, etc., in front of an open mike. Avoid noisy bangles in the booth.
6. On the line
这里是指“on the phone”,“在打/接电话”。
7. There's some situation with the test.
Situation 本意指“形式,情况,事态(通常指不好的)”,这句话的意思是:“测试出了点情况”。 我们也可以用这句话来表示任何事物出了情况:There’s some situation with the contest.
