名词 n.
中文释义

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. Car miles collectively. countable,uncountable
    — The figures which I submitted at Detroit two years ago, and which were based upon the ton mileage, indicated that the total car mileage for the year 1890, was about 11,878,947,768 miles. Had the whole number of roads reported to the commission for the year 1892, it is fair to assume that the total car mileage would approximate twelve billion miles, which, of course, includes the item given above showing the mileage of private cars.
  2. The amount paid by one railroad for the use of cars of another railroad. countable,uncountable
    — I need not say to any auditor, or any person who has ever had anything to do with the keeping and returns of car mileage, that if car mileage is properly kept and honestly returned, it would not involve ten per cent (our auditor says five) additional clerical force or time to return each car, over the present “aggregate returns” system. And this leads me to speak of the fact, that but few—even among railroad men—know how small mileage the average of freight cars (and of course freight car-wheels) is in a year.
  3. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see car, mileage. The number of miles that a car (or a similar vehicle) drives. countable,uncountable
    — The ratio of average annual truck mileage to passenger car mileage is therefore 1.23.
