问题描述
物体占用空间的大小应该叫“体积”或“容积”，这个用英语如何表示？
老师答疑
龙老师：
▲用bulk表示“容量，容积”（包括派生词bulky）：
Great bulk does not always mean great weight. 体积大并不一定总是重量大。
Furniture is so bulky, it takes so much room. 家具体积太大，占了太多空间。
It was bulky, perhaps three feet long and almost as high. 它体积很大，大约有3英尺长，高度也将近3英尺。
▲用capacity表示“容量，容积”：
The stadium was filled to capacity. 运动场坐满了。
▲用cubic表示“容量，容积”：
the cubic content 体积
The container has a volume of 24 cubic metres. 这个容器容积为24立方米。
A cubic inch is the volume of a cube whose edges are each one inch long. 一立方英寸即为其各边长均为一英寸的立方体之体积。
▲用volume表示“容量，容积”：
The jars have different volumes. 这些罐子容量不同。
They sell screws and nails by volume. 他们按体积出售螺丝钉和钉子。
The volume of the Sun is about 1,300,000 times that of the Earth. 太阳的体积约为地球的1300000倍。
The volume of gas trapped on these surfaces can be considerable. 存留在这些表面的气体体积可能相当大。
When egg whites are beaten they can rise to seven or eight times their original volume. 蛋清打散后，体积可增至原来的七八倍。
▲用size表示“容量，容积”：
Each section is 2×2×1 metres in size. 每一块体积为2×2×l米。
It’s smaller in size but greater in weight. 它体积比较小，但分量比较重。
The largest asteroid is Ceres, which is about a quarter the size of the moon. 最大的小行星是谷神星，体积约为月球的1/4。
Despite their size, these vessels carry small crews, usually of around twenty men. 这些船虽然体积庞大，但能够承载的船员却很少，通常为20人左右。
Astronomers know that Pluto and Triton have nearly the same size, mass, and density. 天文学家知道冥王星与海卫一拥有几乎相同的体积、质量与密度。
黎老师：
“体积”或“容积”的单位是立方米。例如：一个 2 metres by 2 metres by 3 metres （2米乘2米乘3米）的容器容积为 12 cubic metres（12立方米）。
