- In Hong Kong, due to extreme space shortages, 'storage' is often discussed via 迷你倉 (mini-storages), a specific industry of small lockers that has become a cultural symbol of urban density.
- Cantonese has a specific term 儲錢 (cyu5 cin2) which uses the first character of 儲存 to mean 'saving money', treating money as something to be stored like a physical commodity.
- While 儲存 is the formal term for 'storage', Cantonese speakers often use the word 倉 (cong1) to describe a storage room or warehouse, which literally means 'granary'.
Examples in context
- 亨利 · 山茲係國家遺傳資源保存中心嘅主任。佢話每年種子實驗室同佢嘅栽培中心都會向世界各地要求嘅人發送10萬個種子樣本。有啲去到啲農作物因為水浸、疾病、旱災或者戰爭而被摧毀嘅國家。有啲會去其他種子儲存中心，同埋大學、政府同工業實驗室。佢哋全部都係用硬幣大小嘅包裝郵寄出去，通常一次過有50粒種子。山茲醫生話每包都係免費畀嘅。Henry Shands directs the National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation. He says that every year, the seed lab and its cultivation centers send out 100,000 seed samples to people who request them from around the world. Some go to countries whose crops have been devastated by flood, disease, drought or war. Some go to other seed storage centers as well as university, government and industry labs. They all get mailed out in coin-sized packets, usually 50 seeds at a time. Dr. Shands says each packet is freely given.This sentence is useful for seeing how 儲存 is used in the context of seed storage centers.Tatoeba #13106254 by Davidgo5867, translation #12282063 by Cangarejo
- 壓力容器係一個容器，用嚟喺比周圍大氣高或者低好多嘅壓力下保持氣體或者液體。諗下佢就好似一個堅固嘅缸，係為咗安全噉管理呢啲壓力差異而唔會爆裂或者漏水而建造。佢哋通常用喺石油同天然氣、化學加工同發電呢啲行業。例如，佢哋可能會儲存壓縮空氣、氫氣之類嘅氣體，甚至係工業過程入面用嘅液體。壓力容器嘅形狀可以好似圓柱體、球體或者錐體噉，而且佢哋係用鋼等堅固嘅材料製成，用嚟處理高壓引起嘅壓力。壓力容器嘅特別之處係佢哋嘅建造方式，以確保安全同耐用。由於喺高壓下工作可能會好危險，所以有嚴格嘅規則同測試嚟確保呢啲容器係可靠嘅。工程師會仔細噉設計佢哋，通常會遵循 ASME 規範之類嘅標準，同埋測試佢哋，確保佢哋可以處理現實世界嘅條件。佢哋唔單止用嚟儲存；佢哋亦都會喺化學反應或者熱轉移之類嘅嘢入面發揮作用。總之，壓力容器係幫助行業有效同安全運作嘅重要工具。A pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure that’s either much higher or lower than the surrounding atmosphere. Think of it like a strong tank built to safely manage these pressure differences without bursting or leaking. They are commonly used in industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. For example, they might store compressed air, gases like hydrogen, or even liquids used in industrial processes. Pressure vessels can be shaped like cylinders, spheres, or cones, and they’re made from strong materials like steel to handle the stress caused by high pressure. What makes pressure vessels special is the way they’re built to ensure safety and durability. Since working with high pressure can be dangerous, there are strict rules and tests to make sure these vessels are reliable. Engineers carefully design them, often following standards like the ASME code, and test them to make sure they can handle real-world conditions. They’re not just for storage. They also play a role in things like chemical reactions or heat transfer. In short, pressure vessels are critical tools that help industries operate efficiently and safely.This sentence shows how 儲存 can be used when discussing the storage of gases and liquids in industrial pressure vessels.Tatoeba #13175822 by Davidgo5867, translation #12938712 by unitedheatexchangers
