"at sea"是英語中常見的短語,具有以下兩層含義及用法:
1. 字面含義:在海上航行
指船隻或人員在海洋環境中航行或作業。例如:"The cargo ship has been at sea for three weeks."(貨輪已在海上航行三周)。該用法常見于航海術語,國際海事組織(IMO)将其定義為船舶離開港口後的航行狀态。
2. 比喻含義:困惑或不确定
描述對某事物缺乏理解或方向的狀态。例如:"I felt completely at sea during the advanced physics lecture."(在高級物理講座中我完全聽不懂)。劍橋詞典指出,該用法源自航海時代船員在陌生海域失去方向感的經曆。
