核心畫面

Picture the moment you step off the platform and onto the deck: the boundary between the ground and the vehicle is behind you, and now you are inside the thing that is about to move. That is the whole word — on board a ship, a plane, a train. It works as a preposition when a vehicle follows it, and on its own as an adverb when everyone already knows which vehicle you mean.

可以想成:你從月台跨上甲板的那一刻——地面和交通工具之間那條界線已經在身後,你人在這個即將出發的東西「裡面」了。這就更多收起可以想成:你從月台跨上甲板的那一刻——地面和交通工具之間那條界線已經在身後,你人在這個即將出發的東西「裡面」了。這就是 aboard 的全部:在船上、機上、車上。後面接交通工具時它是介系詞,大家都知道在講哪一台時就單獨用,當副詞。
