depot

Compared meaning: a station where journeys begin or end (noun).

比较义项：供旅客上下车、始发或终到的车站（名词）。

• terminal

  Refers to the final stop of a route system, often large and formal, such as an airport or a city's main bus or train station, where journeys begin or end.

  指某条路线系统的起点或终点，通常规模较大、较正式，例如机场或城市的主要汽车、火车总站，旅客的行程由此开始或结束。

  Flight attendants greeted passengers as they entered the busy airport terminal.

  空乘人员在繁忙的机场航站楼迎接进入的乘客。

• depot 本词

  Usually a small, plain stop along a route rather than a final destination, sometimes in a rural area, and can also mean a place where vehicles are stored or serviced.

  通常指路线途中一个简朴的小站，而非最终目的地，有时位于郊区或乡下，也可以指存放或维修车辆的场所。

  The train stopped briefly at a small depot outside town, then moved on.

  火车在城外一个小车站短暂停靠后又继续前行。

Both words can mean a transportation station, but terminal stresses the start or end point of a route, often large and formal, like an airport or bus terminal. Depot is usually a small, plain stop, or a place to store or service vehicles.

这两个词都能指交通运输意义上的“车站”，但侧重不同：terminal 强调这是路线的起点或终点，规模通常较大、较正式（如机场航站楼、长途汽车总站）；depot 通常指途中的小站，规模小、较简朴，也常指存放或维修车辆的场所。这里不比较 terminal 的“计算机终端”义，也不比较 depot 的“仓库、储存处”义。

Compared meaning: a place for storing things, a warehouse (noun).

比较义项：仓库、储藏处（存放物品的场所）（名词）。

• store

  Mainly British, and normally appears only in fixed compounds like 'cold store' or 'grain store'; alone, 'store' usually means a shop, so this warehouse sense rarely stands on its own.

  主要为英式用法，通常只出现在「cold store」（冷藏库）、「grain store」（粮仓）这类固定搭配中；单独使用「store」时更常表示「商店」，因此这个表示仓库的意思很少单独使用。

  The old dairy still uses a cold store to age its cheese for months.

  这家老乳品厂至今仍使用冷藏库给奶酪陈放数月。

• storage

  Usually an uncountable noun for the space or service of keeping things, as in 'in storage' or 'storage space'; it rarely names one particular building the way the other words do.

  通常是不可数名词，指存放物品的空间或行为，如「in storage」（存放中）、「storage space」（储物空间）；它很少像其他几个词那样，指某一栋具体的建筑。

  We put most of our furniture into storage while the house was being renovated.

  房子装修期间，我们把大部分家具存放了起来。

• depot 本词

  Suggests a place where goods, supplies or vehicles are kept before being sent on, often with a military, industrial or transport flavor; depot can also mean a bus or train station.

  指存放货物、物资或车辆、以便日后运出的场所，常带有军事、工业或交通运输的色彩；depot 也可以指公共汽车站或火车站。

  Delivery trucks collect fresh produce from the depot before dawn every single day.

  送货卡车每天黎明前都要去仓库取新鲜农产品。

• storehouse

  A formal, somewhat literary word for a building that holds goods, often food or supplies; it also extends figuratively, as in 'a storehouse of knowledge'.

  是一个较正式、带文学色彩的词，指用来存放物品（常是食物或物资）的建筑；也可比喻使用，如「a storehouse of knowledge」（知识的宝库）。

  The temple's storehouse once held enough rice to feed the whole village.

  这座寺庙的仓库曾经存放着足够全村人吃的大米。

All four can mean warehouse, but usage differs. Store is mainly British ('cold store'); alone it means shop. Depot also means bus or train station. Storehouse is formal; also means 'storehouse of knowledge'. Storage is uncountable; also means computer storage.

这四个词都表示「仓库、储藏处」，但语域和搭配不同：store 多用于英式固定搭配，单独使用时最常见的意思是「商店」，这里不比较该义项；depot 除仓库义外，也常指公共汽车站或火车站，这里不涉及该义项；storehouse 语气较正式、文学化，也可比喻指「知识的宝库」，这里只比较其字面意思；storage 通常是不可数名词，也可指电脑的「存储」，这里只比较其表示储藏场所或空间的意思。
