The cool dark room under a house where things are kept. Go down the steps, and it is quiet, cold, and out of the sun — the right place to store what should not be moved or warmed.
「屋子底下那間又涼又暗的房間」。走下樓梯，沒有窗、曬不到太陽、溫度一年到頭差不多——正因為這樣，它天生就是拿來「存放」的地方：煤炭、馬鈴薯、舊箱子，還有最出名的酒。這個字有意思的地方是，它後來從「那個空間」滑到了「放在那個空間裡的東西」，尤其是酒；所以聽到 cellar 時要先聽出對方講的是房間，還是收藏。
