Escalators意思

"Escalators" 這個詞在英語中指的是一種運輸設備,通常在商場、捷運站、 airports(機場)、火車站等公共場所見到。它們是一種連續運行的移動樓梯,用於將人們從不同的樓層連線起來,而無需使用樓梯或電梯。

Escalators are typically made up of a moving belt of steps that are constantly moving in one direction, allowing people to stand on them and be transported to another level without having to climb stairs. They are powered by motors and often have handrails for users to hold onto for balance.

The word "escalator" is derived from the combination of the words "escalade" (to scale or climb) and "ator" (a suffix used to form a noun denoting an agent or doer).
