前几天刚给二楼房间的所有trim喷完漆，发张照片讲一下这方面的一些专业术语。trim就是门套/窗套/踢脚线等装饰的统称，我用的是黄杨木yellow poplar，一底两面漆都是喷的。

门套/窗套 door casing/window casing，这么有立体感是因为有back band
踢脚线 baseboard (in this case it is 10 inches high so 线 is a misnomer)
门框 door jamb
门框上挡门板的长条 (锁孔旁边) door stop
门套底部那个比踢脚线高一点的突出来的 plinth block
底漆 primer/base coat
面漆 top coat
装好地板后还会钉一条细的踢脚线 shoe moulding 遮住baseboard 和 地板之间的缝
