Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

滑行 (huáxíng) literally means 'to slide or glide while moving.' It is often used to describe smooth, controlled movement over a surface, such as an airplane taxiing on a runway or a person sliding on ice.

Common Contexts

This word is frequently used in aviation to describe the movement of aircraft on the ground before takeoff or after landing. It also appears in sports contexts, especially winter sports involving ice skating or skiing.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 滑行 (huáxíng dào): taxiway, the path airplanes use to slide on the ground.
  • 滑行速度 (huáxíng sùdù): sliding speed, often used in technical or sports contexts.
  • 滑行 (huáxíng shí): during sliding, used to give instructions or warnings.

Usage Notes

滑行 emphasizes smooth, continuous sliding motion and often implies control and balance. It differs from (to slip and fall) because 滑行 does not imply losing control. Avoid confusing 滑行 with 行走 (walking) or (running), as 滑行 specifically involves sliding rather than stepping or running.

Example Sentences

The airplane is taxiing on the runway preparing for takeoff.

When sliding, you need to maintain balance to avoid falling.

Gliding on ice is a very popular winter sport.
