世界地垫产业管窥
一.地垫英语语境世界的表达
地垫用英语表达最常见的形式是：Mats(一般用复数形式)。这是一个较粗颗粒的关键词。一般建议用:floor mats和ground mats，这是更确切的表达。门垫一般用：door mats，Entrance Mat这种表达也很常见。
相关词：carpets, rugs, tapestries, mats, cushions 。carpets, rugs, tapestries的材质一般都织物，加工的主体工艺是纺织。而其中tapestries是挂毯，也就是说一般是垂直地面放置的。carpets, rugs是铺装在地面上的(mats也是)。而carpets是大块、满铺。Rugs则是指小块毯。Mats和cushions一般对材质没什么指定，可以是织物，如纤维什么的，也可以是塑料、橡胶、铝合金、木制等等。Mats一般和脚有关，多在地面使用。Cushions则更多的用在其它场合如：靠垫、枕头垫、杯子垫等，一般和坐相关。一个明显的例子，汽车内的后靠垫一般用seat cushions表达，而脚下的垫子一般用car mats表达。
