A1

【英文解釋】in first-class condition

【中文解釋】第一等的,一流的

【短語來源】A borrowing from the register of shipping maintained by Lloyd's of London, the insurance market, from the 18th century onwards. The quality of a ship's hull is denoted by a letter and that of its equipment by a number. "A1" therefore indicates the best quality in all respects. The term is now normally used of someone's health.

borrowing就是指借用的言語或思想。hull是指船的主體部分,也就是船身了。

A1是一個借用詞,它來源于18世紀(jì)倫敦勞埃德保險市場的海洋船舶登記業(yè)務(wù)。船舶的質(zhì)量是由字母和數(shù)字表示的。而A1就是各方面質(zhì)量極好的船舶。

現(xiàn)在這個短語通常指人的健康狀況。

【有例有句】This is an A1 liner, I really want to sit in it and appreciate the beautiful scenery.

這是頂級游輪哦,我好想坐著它欣賞沿途的風(fēng)景啊。
