    逐字那家網路商店把玩具和書保存在城外的一個大倉庫裡。

    「warehouse」是英文裡「存放大量貨物的大建築物」，中文最自然的對應是「倉庫」。它講的是「貨先放著、之後再送出去」的地方，比 shop / store（商店）更偏「存貨」，通常顧客不進去一件一件挑。核心畫面可以想成「一間專門收很多東西的大房子」——箱子、紙箱、家具、網購包裹都先在這裡等。常見搭配：a large warehouse、store goods in a warehouse、in the warehouse。

core核心畫面

A big plain building with high ceilings and rows of boxes on shelves — nothing is made here and nothing is sold here. Goods just wait: they came in from somewhere, and they will go out to somewhere. It is the parking place in the middle of a journey.

可以想成：一棟高高大大、沒什麼裝潢的建築，裡面一排排架子堆滿箱子。這裡不生產也不賣東西，貨只是在等——從別的地方送進來，之後再送出去。它是一趟旅程中間的停車場。這個畫面解釋了為什麼 warehouse 幾乎都跟「量大」「暫放」「等著出貨」連在一起。
