cargo 與 shipment 的區別

  • cargo 通常指船隻、飛機或大型交通工具所運載的貨物,強調貨物本身是運輸的對象。
  • shipment 則更側重於「運送的行為」或「一批被運送的貨物」,常與具體的發貨、收貨過程或單一訂單相關。
  • 在航空與海運領域,cargo 是標準術語(如 cargo plane, cargo ship)。在一般商業或物流語境中,shipment 更常用來指代貨物的發送與追蹤。 EN: The cargo on the ship includes electronics and machinery. 翻譯: 船上的貨物包括電子產品和機械。

EN:We are expecting a shipment of raw materials next Tuesday.

翻譯:我們預計下週二會收到一批原材料的貨運。

EN:The airline specializes in transporting perishable cargo.

翻譯:這家航空公司專門運輸易腐壞的貨物。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Cargo"?Which "Cargo" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×The ship carries many cargos.

The ship carries a lot of cargo.

「cargo」通常為不可數名詞,指貨物的總稱,不直接加 's' 表示複數。若要表示多批貨物,可使用 "shipments of cargo" 或 "cargo loads"。

×The cargo's weight is 20 tons.

The weight of the cargo is 20 tons.

雖然「cargo」可以使用所有格,但在表示貨物的屬性(如重量、體積、目的地)時,使用「of」結構(the weight of the cargo)更為自然和常見。所有格形式(cargo's)多用於擬人化或特定語境。

×They loaded the goods into the cargo.

They loaded the cargo onto the ship.

「cargo」指的是被運送的貨物本身,而不是裝載貨物的容器(如船艙、貨櫃)。正確用法是將貨物(cargo)裝載到交通工具(如船、飛機、卡車)上。

×This is a cargo ship for carrying car.

This is a cargo ship for carrying cars.

當「cargo」作為名詞修飾另一個名詞時(如 cargo ship, cargo plane),它本身保持單數形式,不因後面的名詞而改變。後面的名詞若為可數,則需根據語意使用單數或複數形式。

×The cargo from Japan are arriving tomorrow.

The cargo from Japan is arriving tomorrow.

「cargo」作為不可數名詞,其動詞應使用單數形式(is/was/has)。即使貨物來自多個來源或包含多樣物品,主詞「cargo」本身仍視為單數。
