“水位落差”常见的英文表达是 "water level drop" 或 "water level difference"。
"water level drop" 侧重于描述水位从某一高度下降的幅度 ,强调落差这一动态或结果性的数值变化。例如:The construction of the dam has caused a significant water level drop downstream.(大坝的修建导致下游水位大幅下降 。)
"water level difference" 更强调两个不同位置或不同时间点之间水位的差值,突出这种差异状态。例如:We need to measure the water level difference between the upstream and downstream of the river.(我们需要测量这条河上下游之间的水位落差。 )
