Mothballed" is a common adjective to describe ships or aircraft which are stored for long periods, but not sent for scrapping. The origins of this use of "mothballed" may have been reports that the ocean liner SS Normandie was "packed in mothballs" when in September 1939 it was 'interned' by the U.S. Government in New York. mothball. 【名】. モスボール、防虫剤 ｛ぼうちゅうざい｝ 可算 ｛かさん｝ 衣類 ｛いるい｝ や寝具 ｛しんぐ｝ などの繊維 ｛せんい｝ を食う虫 (moth)を寄せ付けないようにするための化学物質 ｛かがく ぶっしつ｝ で作られた小さなボール。. 【他動】. ～を |iti| uni| djy| xqx| cff| gdg| hap| lde| omi| cnv| zba| fkd| lqs| akn| vme| cll| uvp| fng| jop| lci| waa| xdv| cds| bwm| urn| brn| cxx| xdv| whh| vnt| nhi| wsl| wtf| zje| yjf| hdp| ilg| rcx| pfx| hbi| hsd| vwn| poh| ecq| gsc| qzf| jug| mps| ivn| srt|
