  Her office is on the fifteenth floor of the building.

• story

  A counting unit for how many levels a building has, usually with a number before it (a forty-story hotel); the American English spelling of this sense.

  是用来计数建筑物层数的单位，通常前面加一个数字（一栋四十层的酒店），是这个意义上的美式拼写。

• storey 本词

  The exact same counting unit as 'story', but spelled the British English way; used in the UK, Australia and other non-American English.

  与 story 是同一个计数单位，只是采用英式拼写，多见于英国、澳大利亚等非美式英语地区。

Floor, story, and storey all relate to building levels. Floor names the specific level where something is located, as in 'on the third floor'. Story and storey are counting units for how many levels a building has. Story is American spelling, storey is British.

这三个词都可以指建筑物的楼层，但用法不同：floor 强调某物或某处所在的具体楼层，表示位置；story 和 storey 是用来计数建筑物层数的单位，表示数量；story 是美式拼写，storey 是英式拼写，意思完全相同。这里不比较 story 的“故事”义。
