1. 1渦輪車、渦輪增壓車(也常直接指「渦輪」這個零件;台灣車友口語就講「turbo」或「渦輪」)

    In this sense 'a turbo' is a car — a car with a engine. Car people talk this way: 'He drives a turbo', 'It's the turbo, not the standard model'. It is casual, spoken, a bit enthusiast-ish; you would see it in a car magazine or hear it from someone who loves cars, and it often appears on the back of the car itself as a badge. , 'turbo' is also used by the same people for the part itself — 'the turbo went bad', 'you can hear the turbo up' — so which one is meant depends on the sentence. And it lives a third life as a word meaning 'extra powerful, extra fast', stuck onto other words half-jokingly: turbo mode, turbo button, turbo speed. That last use has spread far beyond cars, into games and software and everyday , though actually it usually just means 'the fast setting' and has nothing to do with any real turbine.

組成turbo 是 turbine 縮短來的,也是 turbocharged / turbocharger 砍短後留下的頭。根源同樣是拉丁文 turbō「旋轉」。
