从中文来看,貌似溜冰鞋、旱冰鞋、滑冰鞋都是一类东西。但是从英文就可以很好的区分:旱冰鞋(roller skate);溜冰鞋(ice skate)。很多商品中文俗称较多的情况下不妨运用英文来分析。我们搜索“roller” 的英英释义如下:
1.a grounder that rolls along the infield
2.a long heavy sea wave as it advances towards the shore
3.a small wheel without spokes (as on a roller skate)
4.a cylinder that revolves
5.a mechanical device consisting of a cylindrical tube around which the hair is wound to curl it
6.Old World bird that tumbles or rolls in flight; related to kingfishers
7.pigeon that executes backward somersaults in flight or on the ground
根据第三个释义“一种安装在轮滑鞋上的没有辐条的小轮子”。搜索“Roller skate”释义:
Roller skates are shoes with four small wheels on the bottom.(旱冰鞋的鞋子底部装有4个小轮子。)
再来看“ice skate”的释义:
skate consisting of a boot with a steel blade fitted to the sole.(溜冰鞋由靴子和适合鞋底的金属刀片组成。)
