storehouse

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.

• depot

  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.

• storehouse 本词

  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）。

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。
