- 1飛行場、小型機場（偏英式、偏舊；日常多半直接說機場）
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. 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. 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. It is not a dome, and it is not the show in the sky — that would be .
組成aero- (air) + -drome (a running course, from Greek dromos). A course laid out for flying, the way a hippodrome was a course for horses.
