- 1飛行場（多指軍用或較簡陋的起飛處，不是一般民航「機場」）
An airfield is a place where planes can take off and land. The picture is often simple: a strip of land, maybe a few buildings, not a big passenger hall with shops. Dictionaries mark it as especially military — a place for air-force planes rather than holiday flights — and that is how you will meet it in news and history. Though actually, people also use it for small civilian strips in the countryside. An airport is the big civilian place with terminals, tickets, and luggage belts; an airfield is usually smaller, rougher, or military. The word feels a little old-fashioned and official next to airport, which is the everyday word for where you fly on holiday.
From the word’s history
From air + field.
由 air 和 field 合成。
組成From air + field. air is flying; field is an open piece of land used for a purpose.
