balcony
作者：互联网
A balcony is a platform projecting from the wall of a building, supported by columns or console brackets, and enclosed with a balustrade [栏杆], usually above the ground floor. console bracket: (搁板的)支架。它的词源是意大利语里的scaffold(脚手架)和德语里的beam(梁), 可能和波斯语里的某个术语同源。
A 'Juliet balcony' does not protrude out of the building. It is usually part of an upper floor, with a balustrade only at the front. Juliet balconies are named after Shakespeare's Juliet, who, in traditional stagings of the play Romeo and Juliet, is courted by Romeo while she is on her balcony - though the play itself, as written, makes no mention of a balcony, but only of a window at which Juliet appears.
“朱丽叶阳台”不伸出建筑物。它通常是上层的一部分，只有前面有栏杆。朱丽叶阳台是以莎士比亚的《朱丽叶》命名的。在《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的传统舞台上，罗密欧在阳台上向朱丽叶求爱——尽管剧本本身并没有提到阳台，只提到朱丽叶出现的窗户。

看来我对protrude的理解不准确。
In theatres, the balcony was formerly a stage-box, but the name is now usually confined to the part of the auditorium above the dress circle and below the gallery. 在剧院里，阳台以前是一个舞台包厢，但现在它的名字通常只限于观众席中dress circle的上方和顶层楼座下方的部分。The dress circle is the first level of seats above the ground floor in a theater.
