Stow is a verb that means "place properly". English explanation: to put something in a safe place, sentence: She found a seat, stood her backpack and sat down. She found a seat, put her backpack and sat down.

When you fly, you will definitely find that there are many English signs in the cabin.

Because aircraft is a highly standardized means of transportation, no matter the sign or the operation process of crew members, they are all unified globally.

, for example, in English behind the plane seat.

When you are sitting on the plane and looking straight at the back of the seat in front, you will definitely see the English on both sides:

The meaning is also very simple:

Life vest under you seat

Fasten seat belt while seated

Fasten seat belt while seated

Fasten seat belt

Sitt you find that some models of aircraft have this line of English on the back of the seat (usually above the small table board), see the photo:

Table must be stood during taxi, take off and landing.

Do we often hear flight attendants say, "...Our plane is about to take off? Please fasten your seat belt and put away the small table board,..."

The first half of the English sentence above: table must be stood, which means "please put away the small table board".

stow is a verb that means "place properly". English explanation: to put something in a safe place, sentence: She found a seat, stood her backpack and sat down. She found a seat, put her backpack and sat down.

This is not the focus of today. Please pay attention to the second half of the English sentence: during taxi, take off and landing. Have you found this word: taxi?

take off means "take off", landing means "landing". These two words are more common, but taxi... I estimate that 95% of people will be surprised: This is not a taxi!

Let's make a simple reasoning:

First of all, you can judge based on the sentence structure, during means "at the time", and take off (take off) and landing (landing) are both two postures of the aircraft. Then taxi, as a parallel component, must also describe a certain posture of the aircraft.

In addition, think about it, how many postures will the aircraft experience from starting the engine to finally landing? There are only a few: taxiing, takeoff, flight smoothly, landing, landing...

We can do an exclusion method. Take off already refers to "take off", and "landing" and "landing" are a complete process, which can be expressed by landing. Moreover, when the plane is flying smoothly, the small table board does not need to be put away.

So the most likely meaning of taxi is "sliding".

OK. Let’s use a dictionary to verify whether the reasoning is correct:

As the dictionary shows, taxi has two parts of speech. When

is the noun, it is the "taxi" we are very familiar with. In some parts of the United States, "taxi" is also called cab. In fact, both taxi and cab come from the same word: taxi (taxi), which is the complete statement.

When taxi is a verb, it means: (of a plane) to move slowly along the ground before taking off or after landing. Because taxi is a verb, there are various forms of changes:

1) Both the third person singular number can be written: taxis, taxies

2) Current participle participle and gerund form: taxiing

3) Past participle participle: taxied

For example:

After waiting for twenty minutes, the plane finally taxied and took off.

After waiting for twenty minutes, the plane finally taxied and took off.

After waiting for 20 minutes, the plane finally taxied and took off.
