- 1小型的機動船、汽艇；台灣一般講「快艇」或「汽艇」（日月潭、墾丁那種）。「馬達船」是照字面湊的，聽起來不自然。
A motorboat is a small boat that moves by engine, not by wind or by . Usually it is the kind of boat one family or a few friends can use — for fishing, for crossing a lake, for pulling someone on water skis, or for going fast for fun. The word tells you what makes it go: an engine, not sails and not oars. Size matters here. A motorboat is small; nobody calls a big ship a motorboat, even though a ship also has an engine. In American English 'motorboat' is very common. In British English people say it too, but they often say 'speedboat' when the boat is fast and sleek, and 'motor launch' or just 'launch' for the slower open kind. In Taiwan you will meet the word most often on holiday — at Sun Moon Lake, or at a beach where someone offers you a ride. It can also be used as a verb, though this is much less common: 'we motorboated across the bay' simply means we crossed it in a motorboat. rarely need the verb, but it will not confuse anyone if you hear it.
組成motor (an engine) + boat. Two ordinary English words simply pushed together — the boat that the motor moves.
