Definition
大车 has two very different noun meanings. It can refer to a large cart, usually pulled by animals like horses or oxen, used for transporting goods. It is also a colloquial term for a train driver or a ship's chief engineer—a career title, not a vehicle. The pronunciation is dà chē, though the pinyin field shows only 'dà'.
