释义

名词

指乘客,普遍用于东南亚一带。

DEFINITION

Noun

A term commonly used by Chinese in Southeast Asia to refer to passengers.

由来
  • “搭客”一词,据说源自福建话 tah kheh 与广东话 dap hak
  • 在中国,“搭客”通常指的是车辆或船只趁便载客,较少指乘客。
  • 在新加坡,使用“搭客”的频率比“乘客”高。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The term “搭客” is said to have originated from tah kheh in the Hokkien dialect and dap hak in Cantonese.

  • In Mainland China, the term is rarely used to refer to passengers. Rather, it usually refers to the action of vehicles or boats allowing people to hitch a ride.

  • In Singapore, the term “乘客” is also used to refer to passengers, but “搭客” is more commonly encountered.
