Nautical means about ships, boats, or sailing. Nautical maps, nautical flags, nautical skills. It is a slightly formal, textbook kind of word — the sort you meet in a museum or in navy talk, not when a child says 'I like boats.' Though actually one nautical phrase has walked into ordinary life: a nautical mile, which is how people measure distance at sea and in the air. It is not the same length as the mile you walk on land; it is a little longer. Sailors also talk about nautical charts (sea maps). The word keeps a flavour of sailing as a craft, not only of .
航海的、海事的、船舶的
