比如:My computer crashed before I saved the file.
(在我存檔前我的電腦當機了。)
The system crashed several times during the testing.在「當機」之後,重新開機或再次啟動系統是用 reboot [riˋbut] 這個動詞
(在測試期間這個系統當了好幾次。)
例如:I had to reboot my computer after I installed the new version of the software.不過「當機」表示電腦根本無法繼續運作,無法用一般程序重新開機
(在我安裝這個軟體的新版本之後,我必須重新開機。)
例如:The plane crashed into the ocean on its way to Cairo.
(這架飛機在飛往開羅途中墜入海中。)
Her parents died in a car crash when she was five.另外這個字在口語中也有在睡覺過夜的意思
(她的父母在她五歲時死於車禍。)
像是:I’m going to crash at a friend’s place tonight.而只是用來睡覺過夜的地方則叫 crash pad
(我今晚會睡在朋友家。)
例如:The apartment is just a crash pad. He only spends the night there when he has to work past midnight.
(那間公寓只是個過夜的地方。他只有在必須工作到午夜之後才會睡在那裡。)
