- 1平板式的（平板卡車、平台式掃描器）。台灣口語的「平板」多半指平板電腦，不是這個。
When something is flatbed, it has a wide, level top that you can put things on — like a table with no walls. People say it most about trucks and trailers: a flatbed truck has a long open back, not a closed box, so you set cargo on that floor and tie it down. Printers and scanners can be flatbed too: you lift a lid and lay the paper on a glass plate. The word almost always sits in front of another noun (flatbed truck, flatbed scanner). People also use flatbed as a name for the truck itself. It is ordinary work language, not fancy. Though actually the “bed” here is not a bed you sleep in; it is the same idea as a riverbed or a — a surface that holds something.
組成From flat (level, not raised) + bed (a surface you put something on).
