An aerodrome is a place that planes, often small ones, take off from and land at. There may be a runway and a few buildings, but it need not be a big international airport with shops and many gates.

Aerodrome這個字 is是 a place一個地方，that planes, often small ones, take off from and land at飛機（通常是小飛機）在那裡起飛和降落。There may be a runway and a few buildings可能會有一條跑道和幾棟建築物，but但 it need not be a big international airport with shops and many gates不需要是那種有商店、有很多登機門的大型國際機場。

Though actually, this is mainly a British word, and it already sounds a little old. In American English people say airfield or just airport; even in Britain, airport has taken over anywhere passengers go.

Though actually不過話說回來，this這個字 is mainly a British word主要是英式用語，and而且 it already sounds a little old聽起來已經有點老派了。In American English在美式英文裡 people say airfield or just airport人們會說airfield或直接說airport；even in Britain就連在英國，airport has taken over anywhere passengers go只要是乘客會去的地方，airport這個字都已經取代了它。

You still meet aerodrome on some signs, in older books, and in official names. Aviation people may keep it for a smaller flying place that is not a full airport.

on some signs, in older books, and in official names在一些標示上、舊書裡和正式名稱裡 you你 still meet aerodrome還是會遇到aerodrome。Aviation people航空業的人 may keep it for a smaller flying place that is not a full airport可能還會保留這個字，用來指一個比較小、還稱不上完整機場的飛行場地。

It is not a dome, and it is not the show in the sky — that would be aerobatics.

It它 is not a dome不是圓頂，and而且 it它 is not the show in the sky也不是天空中的表演——that would be aerobatics那個叫做aerobatics（特技飛行）。
