- 1航空（業）
Aviation is the whole activity of flying aircraft — designing planes, building them, flying them, and running airports and airlines. If someone works 'in aviation', they work somewhere in that flying industry, not necessarily as a pilot. You'll see it in phrases like 'the aviation industry' or 'aviation history'.
aviation 指整個飛機飛行的活動，包括設計、製造飛機，駕駛飛機，還有經營機場和航空公司。
如果說某人「in aviation」工作，表示他在航空業的某個環節工作，不一定是飛行員。常見的說法有「the aviation industry」（航空產業）和「aviation history」（航空史）。
