vocabulary扩展 Radar is a scientific method of figuring out where objects are — it's used today by the Coast Guard, astronomers, and the military, among others. Researchers in the late 1800's and early 1900's realized that radio waves could be reflected off solid objects, and by World War II radar was frequently used to detect ships and planes. The name radar is a shortened form of the phrase "radio detecting and ranging."
