The rule of military English—the most basic word comes first. For example: Trousers, Male, Green; Equipment, navigation, automatic. On a recent trip to the Air Force base, I saw, written on the side of a large carton, yet another example: Melon, Water.
軍用英語(yǔ)的基本原則:先說(shuō)最基本的字。比如:褲子、男式、綠色,設(shè)備、導(dǎo)航、自動(dòng)。我最近訪問(wèn)空軍基地的時(shí)候看到另外一個(gè)例子:在一個(gè)大紙板箱側(cè)面寫著瓜、水。(注:Water Melon,西瓜)
