1.2 Translate the following sentences into Chinese.

1. The overall relative humidity of the ambient air must be below 85 percent before any paint application is allowed. Dry thickness of each coat to be spot checked. Application of paint must not start before approval by Owner’s Representative.

2. Anti-fouling composition consists largely of oxide of mercury, and if it comes into contact with the bare steel, it will set up corrosion hence the need of an anti-corrosive as an insulator. Anti-fouling coating is usually carried to the light load line and a cheaper paint called boottopping, applied between the light and load water marks when the ship is afloat.

1.3 Warm-up questions

1. The ship is built with mild steel, how to prevent its corrosion?

2. Can you list a few kinds of paint used on board?

3. Before an area is painted, what preparation shall be made?

To try and prevent this corrosion, the metal is coated with cement wash, bitumen and paint.

Metal primer, undercoat, top coat and heat-resistant paint,etc.

Before an area can be painted, proper preparation is essential. It must be cleaned and washed with a cleaning solution to remove all salt, dirt and oil.

Passage One Paint Work

Much of the work of the deck department on board a ship concerns the maintenance of the ship and her fittings. This is the responsibility of the chief officer. He and the men in his charge must protect the ship from the damaging effects of salt water, changes in temperature and the action of waves.

The principal material used in building a ship is mild steel, and steel of different types is used for making most fittings and equipment. Unfortunately, steel undergoes a chemical change known as rusting when in contact with air, water or salt solutions. This causes the metal to deteriorate rapidly, unless some form of protection is given.

concern: vt. have to do with or be relevant to 有关于，关系到

protect…from: keep safe from harm or injury 保护 e.g. Protect children from violence 保护儿童免遭暴力侵犯

（ 1 ） be in direct physical contact with 接触 （ 2 ） be in or establish communication with 联系

To try and prevent this corrosion, the metal is coated with cement wash, bitumen and paint. Cement wash is a mixture of cement powder and fresh water. It is used in freshwater tanks and double bottom tanks. Bitumen is used in bilges and peak tanks. It is also used on metal decks before they are sheathed with wood. However, the principal protective coating is paint. There are many types of paint available nowadays in wide variety of colours and it is no longer necessary for the boatswain to mix himself. Paints are stowed in the paint locker, which is usually situated under the forecastle head.

coat ： vt. put a coat on; cover the surface of; furnish with a surface; e.g. coat the cake with chocola

te

bilge 舭龙骨

available ： obtainable or accessible and ready for use or service 可获得的 e.g. Pilot is available now. 现在有引水。

variety: several different sorts of the same thing （同一事物的）不同种类，多种式样

本句翻译：现在有不同种类的多种颜色的油漆，不再需要水手长自己去调制了。

The most common kinds of paint found on board ship are as follows: metal primers, which are applied to a bare surface to give protection against rust and to act as a key to the next coat; undercoat, which are used over the primer before the top coat; top coats, which provide a hardwearing surface and give the required colour; heat-resistant paints for radiators and pipes and for the ship’s funnel; non-slip paints for use on weather decks and other suitable surfaces such as companion-ways; and varnishes to give a clear protective coat to woodwork.

bare ： adj. of surfaces not covered with or protected by anythin

g 无遮盖的；没有保护的

raiator

散热器

For painting, the surface of a ship’s hull is divided into three distinct areas: the topside, boot-topping and bottom. Topside paint is supplied in the company’s colours or in light grey, if the vessel is a warship. It is applied to the area of the ship’s hull which is out of the water when the ship is loaded. Boot-topping is applied to that area of the hull which is out of the water when the ship is in the light condition and under water when the ship is loaded. A ship’s bottom is given a coating of anti-fouling paint. Anti-fouling paints contain toxicants which are poisonous to marine life. The toxicants have to dissolve out of the paint into the surrounding water in order to be effective.

本句翻译：油漆时，船壳表面明显可分为三个不同区域：水线上，水线间和船底。

supply: apply 涂，油漆 本句翻译：水线上油漆涂公司的颜色，如果是军舰，是浅灰色。

Which area does the boot-topping refer to?

Where is the anti-fouling paint applied? How does it fuction?

Before an area can be painted, proper preparation is essential. It must be cleaned and washed with a cleaning solution to remove all salt, dirt and oil. The paintwork must then be rinsed with clean fresh water and all trace of the cleaning solution removed. Loose paint and scale is removed with a scraper and any heavy rust with a chipping hammer. Finally, a wire brush should be used on all bare metal to remove the last of the scale, before the first coat of paint is applied.

Question: Before an are can be painted, what preparation shall be made?

省略句，应为： all trace of the cleaning solution (must be) removed

省略句，应为： any heavy rust (is removed) with a chipping hammer
