Wasp 黄蜂(胡峰)
Bumblebee [ˈbʌmblbiː] 大黄蜂 hornet [ˈhɔːnɪt] 大黄蜂
BBB准确的翻译是“熊蜂”——蜜蜂中一些虎背熊腰的种类的统称。
简而言之呢,三点:细腰亚目类的昆虫,大致可分为三类:蚂蚁/Ant,蜜蜂/Bee,和黄蜂/Wasp(胡蜂、黄蜂,都是一种东西。)
BBB是属于蜜蜂/Bee这一大类的,是熊蜂,个头比较大,可以视为“虎背熊腰的蜜蜂”:一般蜜蜂体长约1.3cm,而熊蜂体长在2.5cm左右。
距点
Hornet是黄蜂/Wasp这一大类的,其中那些个头比较大的Wasp被叫做Hornet:亚洲大黄蜂/Asian giant hornet的体长可以达到4cm——BBB在这种大黄蜂面前就是一顿饭。从这一点来说,中文里将USS Wasp叫做“黄蜂号”,而称F/A-18为“大黄蜂”,是相当准确的。
