“The GPS (Global Positioning System) on board provides accurate position information including latitude, longitude, and altitude. It updates the vessel's position in real - time and is an essential tool for navigation. The GPS receiver displays the ship's position on the electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS), allowing the crew to track the vessel's progress along the planned route.”（船上的 GPS（全球定位系统）提供包括纬度、经度和高度在内的准确位置信息。它实时更新船舶的位置，是航海的重要工具。GPS 接收器在电子海图显示与信息系统（ECDIS）上显示船舶的位置，使船员能够跟踪船舶沿计划航线的行进情况）。

“The radar system on the ship is used to detect other vessels, obstacles, and the coastline. It emits radio waves and measures the time it takes for the echoes to return to calculate the distance and bearing of the targets. The radar display shows the detected objects as blips, and different colors or symbols may be used to distinguish between different types of targets such as ships, buoys, or landmasses.”（船上的雷达系统用于探测其他船舶、障碍物和海岸线。它发射无线电波，并测量回波返回所需的时间，以计算目标的距离和方位。雷达显示屏将探测到的物体显示为亮点，并且可以使用不同的颜色或符号来区分不同类型的目标，如船舶、浮标或陆地）。

“The autopilot is a device that controls the ship's steering. It can maintain a set course by receiving signals from the compass and other navigation sensors. The autopilot has different modes such as course - keeping mode and heading - control mode. In the course - keeping mode, it automatically adjusts the rudder to keep the vessel on the pre - set course, while in the heading - control mode, it can be set to a specific magnetic or true heading.”（自动舵是一种控制船舶转向的装置。它可以通过接收来自罗盘和其他导航传感器的信号来保持设定的航线。自动舵有不同的模式，如航向保持模式和首向控制模式。在航向保持模式下，它会自动调整舵角，使船舶保持在预设航线上，而在首向控制模式下，它可以设置为特定的磁航向或真航向）。
