boat people的用法详解

Boat people是指在逃避政治或经济危机时,乘船离开原籍地的难民或移民。一词的出现最早可追溯到1970年代的南洋海员事件,1987年,美国《华盛顿邮报》报道了一支15艘船只,乘船抵达马来西亚的有人搭船的市民。来自东南亚各国的有人搭船者,以自己的船只逃离大马苦难家园,之后又被拒之门外,这便令人联想起了boat people这个词。

Boat people一词最常用于描述在大船上跨海迁移的移民或难民,但它也可以用来描述一支旅行船中的游客,或者是一群乘船出游的游客。例如:The boat people set off across the lake at dawn.(那群乘船游客在日出时象开始穿越湖面。)

另外,boat people还可以形容那些以船只来谋生的人,比如渔民、水手和船工等。比如:The boat people were the first to spot the strange creature in the water.(乘船渔民们是第一个发现水中奇怪生物的人。)

总之,boat people指的是以船只前往移民或难民,以及以船只来谋生的人,或者是乘船出游的游客。
