mosaic cylinder, mosaic column Explanation: 拼花: mosaic 参考: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&um=1&newwindow=1&sa=1&... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&um=1&newwindow=1&q=拼花 mos... 圆柱: cylinder, column 这样看拼花圆柱可以译为“mosaic cylinder”或“mosaic column” 参考样图: 1) http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&um=1&newwindow=1&sa=1&... 2) http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&num=100&newwindow=1&q=... 3) http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&um=1&newwindow=1&sa=1&... 上面样图中“mosaic cylinder”玻璃质的多一些,而“mosaic column”石头的多一些,可能只是巧合吧。 仅供参考。 |
