Question

楼梯底部英文怎麼说?
单选题:
Mike told her to wait for him____________the stairs but she didn't listen.
A.at the foot of
B.at the bottom of
C.in the back of
D.in the front of
答案是选A,我选了B..
请问楼梯底部是怎么说呢?at the foot of the stairs?还是 at the bottom of stairs?
为什么用at the foot of,而不用at the bottom of?

Answer 1

bottom是楼梯的下面,不是底部,底部是指最低点,这里相当于在山脚下
at the foot of the mountain
如果是竖梯 lift (elevator)而不是 staircase,就有可能是at the bottom,当电梯下到最底层时,所以,一定要看语言环境
at the foot of the stairs (staircase)
at the bottom of the elevator
