1. 1除冰(尤其是汽車擋風玻璃或飛機機翼)

    To de-ice something is to take the ice off it. You hear it most with cars and planes. In a cold country, ice on the blocks your view, so you spray it or it to de-ice the glass. At an airport, workers de-ice the wings of a plane before take-off, because ice on a wing can make flying unsafe; they often use a special liquid, not just a . The word is a verb: they de-ice the wings; the job is de-icing. It is ordinary, practical English — not fancy, not slang. Though actually, we often say defrost when heat melts ice or frost from the inside (a freezer, or warm air on a car window). De-ice points more at getting ice off the outside. Taiwan roads rarely need this; you will meet it in winter travel stories and in airport news.

    「de-ice」是動詞,意思是把冰從某物上除去,最常用在汽車和飛機上。冬天擋風玻璃結冰會擋住視線,所以要噴或刮;機場工作人員起飛前會為飛機機翼除冰,常用專門的液體。例句「they de-ice the wings」就是這種用法,工作本身叫 de-icing。

    這是一般實用的英文,不花俏,也不是俚語。如果是用熱讓冰霜從內部融化,例如冰箱或車窗的暖風,比較常說 defrost;「de-ice」則偏重從外表把冰除掉。台灣路上很少需要,多半出現在冬季旅遊報導和機場新聞裡。
