A1

英文解释】in first-class condition

【中文解释】第一等的,一流的

【短语来源】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就是指借用的言语或思想。hull是指船的主体部分,也就是船身了。

A1是一个借用词,它来源于18世纪伦敦劳埃德保险市场的海洋船舶登记业务。船舶的质量是由字母和数字表示的。而A1就是各方面质量极好的船舶。

现在这个短语通常指人的健康状况。

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

这是顶级游轮哦,我好想坐着它欣赏沿途的风景啊。
