高温气体使涡轮机叶片高速旋转。
可用 wind、steam、gas 等词修饰 turbine，表示涡轮机的类型。
Wind turbines can be seen on the hillside.
山坡上可以看到风力涡轮机。
turbine 作主语时，常搭配 generate、power、drive 等动词，说明其功能。
This turbine generates enough electricity to power the factory.
这台涡轮机产生的电力足以给工厂供电。
turbine 可直接修饰 blade、engine 等名词，构成复合名词，表示“涡轮的…”。

涡轮叶片被设计成高速旋转。
Not this
There are two turbine in the power station.
Use this
There are two turbines in the power station.
turbine 是可数名词，表示两台或更多时要用复数形式 turbines；单数 turbine 不能用于复数语境。
Not this
A turbo converts the energy of moving steam into rotation.
Use this
A turbine converts the energy of moving steam into rotation.
turbo 是 turbocharger（涡轮增压器）的简称，不是 turbine（涡轮机）；表达蒸汽涡轮机应使用 turbine。
Not this
The turbine rotates high speed.
Use this
The turbine rotates at high speed.
表示“以……速度”时要用 at 加 speed，不能说 rotates high speed；介词 at 不能省略。

把开头的“tur”联想成“turn”（转），涡轮机就是靠气流或水流推动叶轮飞速旋转的机器。
语域：neutral 常见场景：工程机械、能源电力、产品说明、科技新闻 该词属于中性偏正式的书面用语，通常用于工程、能源、机械等专业语境，也常见于科技新闻或产品说明中。
发音上，turbine 的词尾 -ine 读作 /aɪn/，因此 vine、shine、line、mine 都与它押韵；注意 medicine 和 engine 虽然拼写也以 -ine 结尾，却读作 /ɪn/，并不押韵。
