1. 1飛行傘(台灣這樣叫這項運動/那張翼傘;中國大陸較常說「滑翔傘」)

    Paragliding is a sport in which you fly with a special parachute shaped more like a wing than like a round umbrella. You may run off a hill, or leave a plane; then you glide — you travel through the air for a long time, not just drop — before you float back down to the ground. That is the difference people care about: ordinary parachuting is mostly falling, with a chute that opens to save you; paragliding is flying. The same word paraglider can mean the wing or the person, which is a little messy, but that is how speakers actually use it.

組成來自 paraglider(那張翼傘,也可以指飛的人)。加上 -ing,變成這項活動的名稱。

同家族的字

  • paraglider那張翼傘,也指飛的人;運動名從這個詞來
  • parachutepara- 這一段:paraglider 本質上是做成翅膀、用來飛的降落傘
  • glide後半段:你是在滑翔,不是只往下掉
