英語(yǔ)中各種梯子的說(shuō)法與區(qū)別

大家知道嗎?Ladder、stepladder、stairs、steps它們都是梯子英語(yǔ)表達(dá)方式，很多人平時(shí)也能夠見到或用到它們吧!但大家有沒有考慮過(guò)，這幾個(gè)詞的區(qū)別是什么呢?如果你也不是太了解的話，如果你也想知道的話，今天就一起來(lái)看看吧。

In general, a ladder and a stepladder are pieces of equipment that are used for climbing up or climbing down something. They can be moved from one place to the next.

一般來(lái)說(shuō)，ladder和stepladder是用來(lái)爬上爬下的設(shè)備。它們可以從一個(gè)地方移動(dòng)到另一個(gè)地方。

Stairs and steps are used for going from one level to another level. They are in a fixed position.

Stairs和steps是用來(lái)從一層到另一層的。他們?cè)谝粋€(gè)固定的位置。

Let’s look at each one in a little more detail:

再來(lái)了解一下每個(gè)詞的細(xì)節(jié)

LADDER

A ladder is a piece of equipment that has a series of steps (also called rungs) between two upright lengths of wood or metal. It needs to be leaned against a wall or other flat surface for support in order to use it. A ladder is portable which means it can moved from one place to another location.

Ladder是一種設(shè)備，在兩個(gè)垂直的木頭或金屬之間一階一階的。它需要靠在墻上或其他平面上才能使用。梯子是可移動(dòng)的，意思就是說(shuō)它可以從一個(gè)地方移動(dòng)到另一個(gè)地方。

Originally most ladders were made of wood though now they are mostly made of aluminum as it is lighter.

起初，大多數(shù)梯子是用木頭做的，但由于重量較輕，現(xiàn)在大多是用鋁做的。

Extension ladder is a ladder that can be extended in height.

伸縮梯是一種可以在高度上伸縮的梯子。

STEPLADDER

A stepladder consists of two ladders joined together with a hinge at the top. It can support itself without needing to be leaned against something. It looks like an inverted V.

Stepladder由兩個(gè)梯子組成，梯子頂部有鉸鏈連接在一起。它可以支撐自己，而不需要靠在什么東西上。它看起來(lái)像一個(gè)倒V。

Stepladder is sometimes written as two words (step ladder).

Stepladder有時(shí)也可以寫成兩個(gè)詞(step ladder)。

ladder和stepladder有什么區(qū)別?

In general a ladder needs to be supported against something.

通常ladder需要靠在什么東西上。

A stepladder doesn’t need external support. It stands by itself.

而stepladder不需要額外的支撐就可以立起來(lái)。

STAIRS

Stairs are a set of steps built between two or more floors in a building. They are fixed in position and cannot be moved.

Stairs是建筑中兩層或兩層以上樓層之間的一組臺(tái)階。它們是固定的，不能移動(dòng)。

The row of posts on the side of stairs (with a wooden or metal top) is called a handrail or banister. You hold onto the handrail or banister as you go up or down the stairs so that you don’t accidentally fall down them.

樓梯側(cè)面的一排柱子(頂部是木制的或金屬的)被稱為扶手或欄桿。上下樓梯時(shí)要抓住扶手或欄桿，這樣你就不會(huì)不小心從樓梯上摔下來(lái)。

STEPS

Steps are a series of fixed individual steps outside of a building. There can be a small number of steps or a large number. Steps can be narrow or very wide and they are usually made of concrete or stone.

Steps是建筑物外面一系列固定的獨(dú)立的臺(tái)階。可以只有幾階，也可以有很多階。臺(tái)階可以很窄，也可以很寬，通常由混凝土或石頭制成。

stairs和steps之間有什么區(qū)別?

The main difference is that stairs are inside and steps are outside.

主要的區(qū)別是stairs在內(nèi)部，steps在外面。

Bonus word: ESCALATOR.

附贈(zèng)一個(gè)詞：自動(dòng)扶梯

An escalator is a mechanical device which has moving stairs that carry people between different floors in a large building. Escalators are common in shopping malls (or shopping centers) and department stores. Escalators are great in that people don’t have to walk up or down stairs. The escalator slowly takes them from one floor to the next.

自動(dòng)扶梯是一種機(jī)械裝置，它是可移動(dòng)的樓梯，可以在大型建筑物的不同樓層之間運(yùn)送人。自動(dòng)扶梯在商場(chǎng)(或購(gòu)物中心)和百貨公司很常見。自動(dòng)扶梯很實(shí)用，因?yàn)槿藗儾槐刈约和讲缴舷聵翘荩詣?dòng)扶梯就可以慢慢地把他們從一層送到另一層。
