Lu Kehua emphasised that any partitions needed to comply with current renting regulations and should not conflict with fire prevention and evacuation arrangements.
住房和城乡建设部副部长陆克华强调说,所有些单间隔断都要符合现有些出租条例,不能改变原有些防火分区、安全疏散等设施。
Partition就是指的出租房打出的隔断。用来把房间隔出单间的就是partition wall(隔断墙)。Partition还可以表示其它的隔离、隔板,譬如:Her taxicab has a thick perspex partition between the passengers seats and the driver.(她的出租车里乘客座位和驾驶员之间装着厚厚的有机玻璃隔板。)
