釋義

建築物有特定樓層數的

When a number or a word like 'multi-' comes before 'storied', the compound tells you how many floors a building has — a five-storied apartment block, for example, has five levels.

例句

number + storied shows floor count

Eli bought an apartment in a new ten-storied building near the river.

Eli 在河邊一棟新建的十層樓大樓裡買了一間公寓。

同義詞
  • -floor

    Used interchangeably: 'a ten-floor building' means the same as 'a ten-storied building'.

  • -level

    Slightly less common for floor count, more general.

文法句型

number + storied + building noun

multi-storied

用法筆記

Cannot be used alone to mean 'having floors' — you must include a number or prefix (e.g. 'two-storied', 'multi-storied', 'single-storied'). The British spelling 'storeyed' is also common.

常見錯誤

❌We live in a storied apartment.
✅We live in a five-storied apartment.
💡'Storied' needs a number (or 'multi-', 'single-') before it to describe the floor count.
