roof是英語中描述建築物頂部覆蓋結構的核心詞彙,其含義可從以下四方面闡釋:
基本定義
作為名詞,roof指建築物最上方的外部覆蓋物,通常由木材、瓦片、金屬等材料構成,主要功能是提供遮風擋雨、隔熱保溫的保護作用。例如:"The heavy snow damaged the roof of the house."
擴展含義
在解剖學中,roof可指口腔頂部的硬腭或軟腭結構;在地質學領域,則用于描述礦層頂部的岩層(如"the roof of a coal seam")。
動詞用法
作為動詞時,roof表示"安裝屋頂"的動作,例如:"They roofed the cabin with cedar shingles." 該詞源自古英語"hrof",與德語"Reetdach"(蘆葦屋頂)同源。
文化比喻
在短語"a roof over one's head"中,roof引申為基本生活保障的象征。美國住房與城市發展部(HUD)數據顯示,2024年全美約58萬無家可歸者缺乏穩定居所,這類表述常見于社會政策讨論。
roof 是一個多功能的英語詞彙,具體含義和用法如下:
名詞(n.):
The roof of the house was damaged in the storm.
(房子的屋頂在暴風雨中損壞了。)
動詞(v.):
They plan to roof the building with tiles.
(他們計劃用瓦片為建築蓋頂。)
Under one roof:

(所有部門都集中在這棟辦公樓裡。)
Raise the roof:

(球隊得分時,球迷們歡呼震天。)
Hit the roof:

(看到一團糟時,她大發雷霆。)
Roof over one’s head:
Everyone deserves a roof over their head.
(每個人都應有一個安身之所。)
roof 的核心是“頂部覆蓋結構”,既指物理的屋頂、車頂,也延伸為抽象庇護或情緒表達。其動詞用法強調“覆蓋”,而短語則生動融入日常和文化語境。掌握時需注意與ceiling 的區别及複數形式roofs 的拼寫。
