storey / story

storey / story
толк.
При указании на количество (но не на порядок), разницы между русскими, британцами и американцами нет, отсюда, напр. three-floor building — трехэтажное здание.
При указании на порядок этажей система такова:
• британцы называют русский первый этаж как "ground floor", реже — "street floor"; этаж над ним — "first floor" и т.д.
• американцы называют русский первый этаж "first floor", второй этаж — "second floor" и т.д., но в общественных зданиях первый этаж у них может также именоваться как и у британцев — "ground floor".
Примечание: floor предпочтительнее использовать при указании, на каком этаже кто-либо живет, а брит. storey или амер. story — при подсчете этажей, напр. a three-stor(e)y house.
In BrE the floor of a building at street level is the ground floor, the one above it is the first floor and the one below it is the basement, or lower ground floor in a public building. In NAmE the floor at street level is usually called the first floor, the one above it is the second floor and the one below it is the basement. In public buildings the floor at street level can also be called the ground floor.
