[分享]维基巧利用，英语提境界——利用维基提升你的英语写作水平以及你的知识水平

其实很多时候我们都碰上对于一种产品不知道怎么描述，用中文的翻成英文又觉得像是chinglish,这时候可以利用维基百科，因为里面很多东西的描述都是很专业的英语，所以大家大可以拿过来利用下。

下面的是维基浏览器，维基有时候不能用可以用它。不过我更喜欢用它。

比如说你想找biesel generator,柴油发电机，你会找到如下解释：
A diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator (often called an alternator) to generate electric energy.

Diesel generators are used in places without connection to the power grid or as emergency power-supply if the grid fails. Small portable diesel generators range from about 1kVA to 10kVA, while the larger industrial generators can range from 8kVA - 30kVA for homes, small shops & offices up to 2000kVA used for large office complexes, factories and power stations. These generators are widely used not only for emergency power, but also many have a secondary function for providing back up power to utility grids.

Ships often also employ diesel generators, sometimes not only to provide energy for electric systems, but also for propulsion. The use of diesel generators for propulsion is actually becoming more common due to the fact that in this arrangement the generators do not need to be close to the propeller and instead they can be placed in better positions, usually allowing more cargo to be carried. Such a diesel-electric arrangement is also used in some very large land vehicles.

Power generators are selected based on the load they are intended to supply power for, and that load's "mission critical" needs (e.g. a hospital needs to have 100% redundancy and up-time, a backyard standby unit to keep a hot tub warm isn't nearly as critical)
怎么样，是不是很不错？
