"at sea"是英语中常见的短语,具有以下两层含义及用法:
1. 字面含义:在海上航行
指船只或人员在海洋环境中航行或作业。例如:"The cargo ship has been at sea for three weeks."(货轮已在海上航行三周)。该用法常见于航海术语,国际海事组织(IMO)将其定义为船舶离开港口后的航行状态。
2. 比喻含义:困惑或不确定
描述对某事物缺乏理解或方向的状态。例如:"I felt completely at sea during the advanced physics lecture."(在高级物理讲座中我完全听不懂)。剑桥词典指出,该用法源自航海时代船员在陌生海域失去方向感的经历。
