"给船加水" 用英语可以表述为 "flood the boat" 或 "flood the vessel."

这个表达的来源可能源于船只翻沉时,水会流入船内使船体充满水,使船只下沉。因此,"flood" 这个动词常用来表示使某物充满水,特别是当描述船只下沉时。

下面是一些使用 "flood the boat" 或 "flood the vessel" 的英文例句,以及它们的中文翻译:

The captain ordered the crew to flood the boat in order to put out the fire. (船长命令船员给船加水以扑灭火灾。)
The vessel started to sink after it was flooded with water from a leak. (由于船体漏水而使船内充满水,船只开始下沉。)
They had to abandon ship when the waves flooded the boat. (当海浪把船淹没时,他们不得不放弃船只。)
