stores ship(也常写作 store ship / store-ship):(尤指海军或远洋航行中)补给船、供应船,主要任务是运送食物、弹药、燃料、备件等“储备物资(stores)”给舰队或基地。
/ˈstɔːrz ˌʃɪp/
The stores ship arrived with fresh food and spare parts.
补给船带来了新鲜食物和备用零件。
During the long deployment, the fleet relied on a stores ship to replenish fuel, ammunition, and medical supplies at sea.
在漫长的部署期间,舰队依靠补给船在海上补充燃料、弹药和医疗物资。
stores 在航海与军事语境里常指“储备物资、给养”(不只是“商店”),源自古法语 estore(储备、供给)并进入英语;与 ship 组合后,字面意思就是“运送储备物资的船”,因此引申为“补给船/供应船”。
