单词 mayday
释义 mayday['meidei]n. 救难信号 mayday  may.day  AHD:  [m³“d³”] D.J.  [6me!7de!]K.K.  [6me7de]n.(名词)An international radiotelephone signal word used by aircraft and ships in distress.呼救信号:遇险的飞机、船只等使用的国际无线电呼救信号语源:From French m'aidez [help me!] 源自 法语 m'aidez [救命] 注释:“Mayday, mayday!” comes the international distress signal over the radio,and nobody stops to ask why the first of May is being mentioned at a time of crisis.Mayday,  in fact, has nothing to do with the first of May. Instead, it is a spelling that represents the pronunciation of Frenchm'aidez,  “help me,” or the latter part of the phrase venez m'aider,  “come help me,” either of which are quite appropriate at such a critical juncture.“救命,救命!”无线电接收机中传来国际遇险呼救信号,总有人询问为何在危急时刻使用五月的第一天作为信号。实际上,Mayday 和五月份的第一天没有任何关系。 相反,它只是和法语中m'aidez “帮助我”或短语 venez m'aider “来帮助我”的后半部分的读音相同的一种拼写, 均适用于指紧要关头
