Yes, 船长 (chuánzhǎng) is a formal way to address someone, specifically a captain or ship-master. It is a compound word made up of the characters 船 (chuán), meaning "ship," and 长 (zhǎng), meaning "leader" or "chief." Together, it translates to "ship leader" or "captain."
In Chinese culture, addressing someone with their title or position is a sign of respect and formality. Therefore, using 船长 to address a captain or ship-master is considered appropriate and polite.
Example sentences:
- 船长，我们已经抵达目的地了。(Chuánzhǎng, wǒmen yǐjīng dǐdá mùdìdìle.) - Captain, we have arrived at our destination.
- 请问船长，我们还有多久才能到达港口？(Qǐngwèn chuánzhǎng, wǒmen hái yǒu duōjiǔ cáinéng dàodá gǎngkǒu?) - Excuse me, Captain, how much longer until we reach the port?
- 船长的命令必须严格执行。(Chuánzhǎng de mìnglìng bìxū yángé zhíxíng.) - The captain's orders must be strictly followed.
