A field-test is a try-out of new equipment in the real place it will be used, not in a quiet laboratory. You field-test a tent by sleeping in the mountains, a helmet by giving it to real cyclists, a farm tool by taking it to the actual field.

A field-testfield-test（實地測試） is a try-out of new equipment是把新裝備拿去試用 in the real place it will be used放在它真正會被使用的地方 not in a quiet laboratory而不是在安靜的實驗室裡。You field-test a tent你要 field-test 一頂帳篷 by sleeping in the mountains方法是到山上真的睡一晚，a helmet by giving it to real cyclistsfield-test 一頂安全帽就交給真正的自行車騎士，a farm tool by taking it to the actual fieldfield-test 一個農具就把它帶到真正的田裡。

The point is to see what breaks, what confuses people, or what weather and dirt do — things a lab will not show you. It can be a noun (a field-test) or a verb (to field-test something).

The point is to see what breaks重點是要看什麼東西會壞 what confuses people什麼會讓人搞不清楚 or what weather and dirt do或是天氣和髒污會造成什麼影響 things a lab will not show you這些都是實驗室不會讓你看到的東西。It can be a noun (a field-test)它可以是名詞（a field-test） or a verb (to field-test something)也可以是動詞（to field-test something）。

In writing you will also see field test as two words. Though actually, “the field” here does not have to be grass; it just means out in real life. Software people use it too, which would surprise a farmer.

In writing在書寫上 you will also see field test as two words你也會看到 field test 拆成兩個字寫。Though actually不過其實 "the field" here does not have to be grass這裡的「field」不一定是草地 it just means out in real life只是指「到真實生活裡去」。Software people use it too做軟體的人也會用這個字 which would surprise a farmer這會讓農夫感到意外。
