n.（名词）
<注释>The plane in which we fly is properly named for a very important element of its structure—the wing that keeps it in the air.But the story behind this name is slightly complicated.To begin with,plane in the sense .winged vehicle,. first recorded in April 908, is a shortened form ofaeroplane. In June of that yearplane appeared in a quotation from the London Times that mentioned Mr. Wright. Aeroplane, first recorded in 8'', is made up of the prefixaero-, .air, aviation,. and the word plane, referring to the structure designed to keep an air vehicle aloft. Originally the plane in such contexts was imagined as flat,hence the choice of the wordplane; in practice this surface to curve slightly in order to work.The wordaeroplane for the vehicle is first found in 873. The first recorded appearance of the formairplane in our current sense, which uses air- instead of aero-, is found in 907. An American flies in anairplane while a Briton still travels in anaeroplane, but both can catch aplane.
我们用以飞行的飞机是以飞机结构的一个非常重要的组成部分——维持飞机在空中飞行的机翼来恰当地命名的。但是这个名字背后的传说稍微有些复杂。起初，意为.有翼的飞行器.的plane 首次记载于908年四月， 是aeroplane 的缩写形式。 那一年的'月，plane 出现在 伦敦时报 中提及赖特先生的一段引文中。 Aeroplane 首次记录于8''年， 由前缀aero- .空气，航空.和意指保持飞行器在高空飞行的结构的单词 plane 组成。 起初，在这些上下文中的机翼被想象成是平坦的，因此选用了单词plane； 实践中为了运行机翼表面稍微有些弯曲。代表这种飞行器的单词aeroplane 首次于873年发现。 具有现行意义的airplane 形式的首次记录出现于907年，它使用 air- 代替了 aero-。 美国人使用airplane 飞行， 而英国人仍然乘一架aeroplane 旅行， 但他们都能赶上乘坐一架plane
