Chinese (traditional) ..... 指環繞的防禦壕溝,其外部的斜坡面。若為內部的斜坡面,則稱之為「內削壁」。 |
Dutch ..... Tegenover de 'escarpen' gelegen en soms beklede 'taluds'; ook wel 'buitengrachtsboord'; de buitenwaarts ervan gelegen 'bedekte wegen' en het 'glacis' worden soms ook tot de contrescarp gerekend. Naar buiten liggende hellingen van omringende verdedigingswaterwerken. Voor de naar binnen liggende hellingen wordt 'escarpen' gebruikt. |
German ..... Bezeichnet die äußere Böschung der umlaufenden Gräben, für die innere Böschung verwenden Sie "Eskarpe". |
