flyboat

基本解释

The Dutch first introduced the flyboat, or flute, a specialized merchant vessel designed to carry bulk commodities14.
当时荷兰人推出了快艇，或称平底凹槽船，一种为运输大宗货物特别制造的商船。
The flyboat was exceptionally long compared with its width, had a flat bottom, and was lightly built.
这种快艇船身长度大大超出其宽度，底平，体轻。
Without piracy, specialized cargo-carrying vessels similar to the flyboat were designed, thereby substantially reducing the costs of shipping.
海盗不复存在以后，与快艇相似的专业载货船被设计出来，海运成本因此大大地降低了。
It became evident that the flyboat could be used advantageously in certain bulk trades where the danger of piracy was low.
显而易见，快艇适于海盗劫掠可能性低的地区的一些大宗贸易使用。
