长方形在英语中被称为 "rectangle"。这个词来自拉丁文 "rectus",意思是"直的",加上后缀 "-angle",意思是"角"。因此,"rectangle" 的意思就是"直角"。
一些英文例句及其中文翻译如下:
The wall is painted with a bright blue rectangle. (墙上画了一个鲜艳的蓝色长方形。)
The room was filled with rectangular tables. (房间里摆满了长方形桌子。)
I need to measure the length and width of this rectangle to calculate its area. (我需要测量这个长方形的长和宽来计算它的面积。)
