(尤指车辆)“水滑/打水漂”:轮胎在积水路面上失去与地面的抓地力,导致车辆在水面上滑行、转向和制动失效。(也常写作 hydroplaning/aquaplaning)
/ˈhaɪdrəˌpleɪnɪŋ/
The car started hydroplaning when it hit the puddle.
汽车撞上积水时开始打水漂。
Hydroplaning is more likely at high speeds, especially when tires are worn and the road has poor drainage.
高速行驶时更容易发生水滑,尤其是在轮胎磨损、路面排水不良的情况下。
hydro- 来自希腊语,意为“水”;planing 与“平面滑行/掠过表面”相关。合起来形象地描述“在水面上像在平面上滑过去”的现象。该词多用于交通与驾驶安全语境。
