用法說明

chamber (a round) vs. chamber (a cartridge)

  • chamber (a round) 指的是將一發子彈或砲彈裝入槍膛或砲膛的動作,強調的是「裝填」這個過程。
  • chamber (a cartridge) 則更常指將一發完整的彈藥(包括彈殼、底火、發射藥和彈頭)裝入槍膛,是更精確的術語。
  • 在口語中,兩者常可互換,但技術性描述時,chamber a cartridge 更為準確。
  • 被動語態 be chambered for 用於描述槍械設計上可使用的彈藥規格,例如 chambered for 9mm。 EN: He quickly chambered a round and took aim. 翻譯: 他迅速將一發子彈上膛並瞄準。

EN:This rifle is chambered for .308 Winchester cartridges.

翻譯:這把步槍是設計用來發射.308溫徹斯特彈藥的。

常見錯誤

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

×They chambered the bullet into the gun.

They chambered a round in the gun.

作為動詞時,'chamber' 通常指將子彈裝入槍膛(chamber a round),或將某人/某物安置在房間內。直接說 'chamber the bullet' 聽起來不自然,更常見的說法是 'chamber a round' 或 'load a round into the chamber'。

×The round was chambered by him before the competition started.

He chambered a round before the competition started.

在描述裝填子彈這個主動、快速的動作時,使用被動語態(was chambered)會顯得不自然且冗長。主動語態更直接、更符合這個動作的語境。

×They chambered the meeting in the hall.

They held the meeting in the chamber. / The meeting was chambered in the hall.

'chamber' 作動詞表示『將…安置在房間/室內』時,其受詞通常是人或物體,而不是『會議』這類事件。對於事件,應使用 'hold a meeting in the chamber'。動詞 'chamber' 在此義項下較為正式或文學化,例如 'The king chambered his guests in the west wing.'。

×Please chamber this box in the storage room.

Please store this box in the storage room.

雖然 'chamber' 作名詞有『房間』的意思,但作動詞『安置在室內』時,語境通常較正式、特定(如安置人、特殊物品、或舉行正式活動),不適用於日常的『存放雜物』。日常情況應使用 'store', 'place', 或 'put'。

×He chambered round and waited.

He chambered a round and waited.

在 'chamber a round' 這個固定搭配中,不定冠詞 'a' 是必要的。'round' 在這裡是可數名詞,指『一發子彈』。省略冠詞是常見的錯誤。
