English term
a tonne out

装载机电子秤
How inaccurate is the scale?
This should be in terms such as "Up or down 2t in a typical 26t truck". Often we hear statements such as ‘a tonne out’, but this does not help if we don’t know if this refers to a bucket (6t), single truck (13t) or Road Train (45t).
out在这里是不是误差？
TIA

一吨上下
确是误差的意思，如测量仪器out of calibration就是不准的意思
笔者抱怨a tonne out的确因为这个表达太模糊，但重点在于后面通常不跟“in a typical xxx”。在一铲头6t, 一卡车13t或一个车队45t里面差1t不是一个概念。a tonne out是比较偷懒、含糊的口语表达，不够精确。

我的表差了两分钟。
a tonne out 这里应理解为： 误差一吨。
Up or down 2t 似乎应该是超标或短缺2吨，这样的说法就比较明确了。
Often we hear statements such as ‘a tonne out’, 意思是说：我们常常听到这样的说法：输出/离开一顿。 out 这里应该是副词，away from a particular place 的意思。
